Fig 5. Correlation of differential expression of overlapping genes at 28 (young) and 213 (adult) days of age.

The values of the axes represent the fold changes in the differential expression when comparing early stressed males and females. The plots show the correlations of the differential fold changes of the genes overlapping on the top 1000 differentially expressed at each age. The values for the young birds were obtained immediately after a 30 min physical restraint period as explained in Material and Methods, and in the adults they were obtained five minutes after capture and removal from the home pen.
