Fig 3. Numbers of L. monocytogenes sense and antisense RNAs differentially expressed at five growth phases in response to cold stress (4°C relative to 20°C).

Differential expression (DE) analyses were performed using DESeq2 and DE was reported as log₂ fold changes. Genes with a >2-fold change (> 1 log₂) in expression and an adjusted p-value < 0.05 were considered DE. See Fig 1 for information about growth phases.
