Transcription profiles of the top 30 highly expressed genes in the accessory glands plus uterus. a Female reproductive system of human head louse. Tissues (accessory glands plus uterus) used for transcriptome analysis are marked in gray. b Transcripts per million (TPM) values of the top 30 genes annotated in the transcriptome of accessory glands plus uterus of 5-day-old head lice. The transcripts of the top six genes occupy 85.7% of whole transcripts expressed in the head louse accessory glands plus uterus. Black or gray bars indicate genes with or without signal peptide sequence, respectively
