Figure 3.
Heat map representing shared gene modulation in female and male X. maculatus skin at 8 (F8 and M8) and 16 kJ/m2 (F16 and M16). Shown are 134 up modulated (red) and 59 down-modulated (green) genes that exhibited a shared UVB response in the skin of both genders. Bracketed genes are functional clusters based on DAVID Gene Ontology analysis. Genes involved with cell stress, DNA repair, and nucleotide binding appear up modulated, while functional classes down modulated are cell morphogenesis, cell adhesion, and metabolism.
