FIG 7.
Assessment of diversity among individual animals by species in transcriptional responses to LPS for 17 genes. Pairwise coefficients of determination (R2) were calculated for the 66 intraspecies pairs for LPS-treated P. leucopus animals, the 66 intraspecies pairs for LPS-treated M. musculus animals, and the 144 interspecies pairs for all LPS-treated animals. Data were drawn from selective transcripts from RNA-seq for the spleen (Table S5). The top panel is a frequency distribution of R2 values for all pairwise determinations. The bottom panel shows just the distributions of intraspecies pairwise determinations.
