Volcano plot for the differentially expressed genes identified in the network meta-analysis (non-adjusted p-value < 0.1 and |log(fold-change)| > 2) (a) and Venn diagram comparing the results obtained in the different datasets of differentially expressed genes identified using different bovine reference genomes assemblies (b). In (a), the green dots represent differentially expressed genes identified using non-adjusted p-value < 0.1 and |log(fold-change)| > 2. The yellow dots represent differentially expressed genes identified using a |log(fold-change)| > 2. In (b), the differentially expressed genes identified in each dataset are represented in red (network meta-analysis), yellow (GSE107891 data set using ARS-UCD1.2 bovine reference genome), purple (GSE81449 data set using ARS-UCD1.2 bovine reference genome), dark green (GSE107891 data set using UMD 3.1 bovine reference genome; Moraes et al. (2018)), and blue (GSE81449 data set using UMD 3.1 bovine reference genome; Geary et al. (2016)).
