Additional file 1:

Comparison of gene expression profiles regulated in response to turbot pathogens. The total number and distribution among libraries (Aeromonas, Philasterides, control) of sequences from contigs with 6 or more sequences is presented. The homology with public databases (e-value), the function and the probability of departure from the null hypothesis of even distribution of sequences among libraries is shown for each contig.

Additional file 2:

Comparison of ESTs grouped according to GO terms among the three turbot cDNA libraries. contigs of annotated genes are shown grouped according to GO term categories (Molecular function; Biological process; Cellular component) and split into the three turbot libraries from which sequences were obtained. The expression pattern of each gene at each library is evaluated as the amount of sequences found. This pattern is compared among libraries and examined for its deviation from an even distribution among libraries by a chi-square test.
