Heat map (top) and Violin plots (bottom) of differentially expressed genes in males and females. Heat map depicts the log₂ fold change of differentially expressed gene (DEGs) of COVID-19 patients compared with controls. Genes included have a log₂ (fold change) of more than 1 and adj p-value < 0.05. Violin plots represent each gene as CPM (counts per million) for each male of female patients. Shown are the median and 75th quartiles as well as minima and maxima bounds of CPM (counts per million) of highlighted differentially regulated genes.
