Figure 2.

(A–C) Volcano plots presenting differentially expressed genes [DEGs; p_adjusted < 0.01 and abs(log₂ fold change > 1.0)], as confirmed by 2 separate methods (Ballgown and Cufflinks). Red, green, and black dots represent upregulated, downregulated, and nonsignificant genes, respectively. (D–F) MA plot depicted DEGs on a logarithmic scale, showing the fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (FPKM) value.
