Figure 5. Comparison of our results to previous transcriptional studies.
We compared the results from this study to a set of transcriptional studies in Drosophila, Anopheles, and Apis mellifera. To facilitate comparisons, the deviation of observed overlap from the expected number of overlapping genes observed was converted to a z-score. The x-axis represents the standardized value of these deviations, with 0 representing no deviation, a score of 2 representing a difference that is two standard deviations greater than expected, and −2 representing a difference two standard deviations less than expected. Stars indicate a significant deviation based on a two-tailed Fisher Exact test (p<0.05).
