Additional file 4: Figure S1. of Midgut proteome of an argasid tick, Ornithodoros erraticus: a comparison between unfed and engorged females

Pie charts showing the amino acid coverage for all the identified protein with two unique significant peptides in the different midgut fractions. The identified proteins in each fraction after mining either the BCBInr_metozoa or the EST_acari databases are included. For each chart, the proteins are grouped according to the sequence coverage into the following ranges: < 10 %, 10–25 %, 25–40 %, 40–60 % and > 60 %. For each sequence coverage range, the percentage of grouped proteins is given. (TIFF 104 kb
