Screen captions illustrating online Venn diagram and digital differential display (DDD) analysis examples. a: search for the specific effect of exposure to cadmium among other heavy metals. Relevant sample libraries were pooled according to the metal but regardless of the exposure duration and the tissue (top panel). The resulting Venn diagram displays the metal-specifically overexpressed contigs as a ‘click-and-browse’ list (bottom panel). b: search for metamorphose-related transcripts. The sample libraries were pooled regarding the development stage in two groups separated by the onset of metamorphosis (top panel). The parameters and results of the DDD analysis are indicated on the right. Ten contigs out of the 243 that were only expressed after metamorphosis are displayed as a ‘click-and-browse’ list (bottom panel). All results can also be downloaded as .tsv files for further analysis
