Gene catalogue construction and abundance.
(a) The Venn diagram shows how the 11 659 115 genes were shared in the 4 studies based on the merge of the 4 non-redundant gene catalogues. A core of 488 482 genes were found in all studies whereas a large part of the genes were unique to each study. (b) Relative abundance of genes grouped into how they are shared in the Venn diagram. The shared genes are also the most abundant genes followed by the unique genes to each study. Each field in the Venn diagram is denoted by the first letter of the study.
