Similarities and differences between sets of genes differing in transcript abundances. Coloration refers to genes with significantly increased transcript abundances in male vs. female acanthocephalans from barbel (BM/F), females vs. males from barbel (BF/M), females vs. males from eel (EF/M), and males vs. females from eel (EM/F). Circular sections are scaled to the number of genes with elevated transcript numbers in a particular pair of comparison. Grey strings connect corresponding genes across different pairs of comparison. Many more genes exhibit differential transcript abundances between male and female worms from barbel than between their counterparts from eel. Connections between male and female acanthocephalans from the same host species relate to different genes with annotation overlaps in the reference (D. melanogaster)
