Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). (a) Classification of the DEGs based on their functional annotation, biological processes, cellular locations, and molecular functions. The top 10 sub-categories based on the number DEGs in each category are represented in each graph. (b) Biological pathway classification of DEGs. The DEGs were grouped in different pathways on the basis of the information gathered from different online pathways sources, including KEGG, Wikipathways, and/or Reactome. Each bar shows the number of genes associated with the subsequent pathway. (c) Overlapping genes in multiple pathways. The red bars display up-regulated, while the green bars show down-regulated genes.
