Comparison of male Trichostrongylus vitrinus ESTs with Caenorhabditis elegans, parasitic nematodes and non-nematodes protein sequence databases. Quantitative analysis of degree of similarity between T. vitrinus sequences homologous to those from C. elegans, other nematodes and non-nematode sequences, visualized by SimiTri. These comparisons demonstrate that the sampled transcriptome from male and female T. vitrinus has a closer relationship to molecules in parasitic nematodes and C. elegans than to non-nematodes.
