Heat map displaying transcription profiles for genes Tc-cap-1 to Tc-cap-28 in third-stage larvae (L3); adult female: gut (Af_g), reproductive tract (Af_r) and whole-worm (Af_w); adult male: gut (Am_g), reproductive tract (Am_r) and whole-worm (Am_w) of Toxocara canis; biological replicates are indicated (Lanes 1 to 3 or 1 to 4). The identifiers and closest Caenorhabditis elegans homologs of individual Tc-cap genes are in square brackets and partial sequences are indicated with an asterisk. The heat map was drawn based on log_e-transformed “transcripts per million” (TPM) values (cf. Additional file 1: Table S4); a colour-scale indicates the level of transcription: low (red), medium (orange), high (yellow) and very high (white)
