Figure 2.
Genomic features differ across Blastocystis strains. (A) Intron lengths and (B) intergenic lengths in tortoise isolates (left) and human isolates (right). (C) Sequence motif enriched adjacent to transcript ends in ST1, ST3, and ST4. Motif generated with STREME (Bailey 2021). This motif is referred to as “downstream gene element” (DGE). (D) Enrichment (log[observed/expected]) of transcripts with downstream conserved element within 30 bp upstream of or downstream from transcript end, normalized by expected DGE occurrence given GC content.
