<p>Representation of <i>M. incognita</i> proteases expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in databanks. Bars show the percentage of proteases EST number relative to the total number of EST available for each developmental stage. ESTs from proteases were retrieved from NCBI-dbEST (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/dbest/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/dbEST/index.html</a>) and their representation was assessed by the number of ESTs relative to the total number of ESTs available for the developmental stage considered. The developmental stages considered were; eggs (14,671 ESTs), freshly hatched J2s (33,835 ESTs), mixed parasitic stages (3,133 ESTs) and females (4,427 ESTs). The distribution of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) ESTs is indicated for comparison. </p
