Figure 2.
Adult individuals and larval state of B. wellingtonensis show a unique transcriptional signature. (A) Principal component analysis of the 21 RNAseq sample shows clustering into adult and larval groups. Upper circles show larval samples: EAL (red), AL (black), PLTIII (green) and PLTI (yellow). Lower circles show adult samples: FTIII (pink), FTI (lilac), and M (calypso). (B) Volcano plot comparison of differential gene expression between larvae and adults. Red dots highlight differentially expressed genes with threshold FDR < 0.01 and Log2 Fold Change [≥ 1]. The black zone indicates the number of transcripts that do not show significant differential expression.
