Figure 3. Genes with identified fire ant orthologs were more highly connected and expressed, but this relationship also depended on whether the gene was nurse-upregulated (blue), forager-upregulated (red), or non-differentially expressed (NDE, gray).
As shown in Figure 2, forager-regulated genes were much more highly connected, and overall, forager-upregulated genes had a higher proportion of identified fire ant orthologs (0.54) relative to nurse-upregulated and non-differentially expressed genes (0.43).
Figure 3—figure supplement 1. Very similarly to Figure 3, genes with identified honey orthologs were more highly connected and expressed, but this relationship also depended on whether the gene was nurse-upregulated (blue), forager-upregulated (red), or non-differentially expressed (NDE, gray).
Forager-upregulated genes had a higher proportion of identified honey bee
orthologs (0.50) relative to nurse-upregulated and non-differentially
expressed genes (0.38).
