*Total number of groups where two or more genes have a reported in situ analysis. Number of genes that have been analyzed by in situ. Number of groups where two or more genes show co-expression in at least one domain of the embryo. §Groups of duplicated genes that are not arranged in tandem and that have one-to-one orthologues in A. gambiae. Groups of genes that are located in syntenic regions between D. melanogaster and A. gambiae, that have one-to-one orthologues in A. gambiae, and that are not tandem duplicates.
