Figure 5. Response eQTLs at 18 hours post-infection.

(A) We counted the number of response eQTLs from Barreiro et al.³⁷ (179 out of the 198 were also expressed in our study) in each of the five gene expression patterns at 18 hours post-infection (Fig. 3). (B) We compared the mean log₂ fold change in expression across the 8 bacterial infections at the 18 hour timepoint for three classes of genes: response eQTL genes (red), general eQTL genes (purple), and non-eQTL genes (yellow) (see Methods for details).
