Transcription of dauer signalling genes in Caenorhabditis elegans and in Haemonchus contortus. Messenger RNA transcriptional levels (fragments per kilobase per million mapped reads, FPKM) of a 60 dauer signalling genes in key developmental stages of C. elegans [egg, the first- (L1), second- (L2), dauer-, fourth- (L4) stage larvae and adults (Ad)], and b all 61 homologous genes in H. contortus stages (egg, L1, L2, L3, L4 (female and male L4s—L4f and L4m), and female and male adults—Adf and Adm) are indicated in the heat maps. Colour scales and Z-scores indicate scaled FPKMs in the rows. Genes involved in the cGMP, TGF-β, IGF-1 and steroid hormone signalling pathways are listed
