Tissue- and duration-specific dysregulation of gene expression from SARS-CoV-2 infection
(A) Sample overview by tissue for RNA-seq and GeoMx experiments. Number of regions of interest (ROIs) and patient numbers (n) are summarized, and a representative tissue slide image for GeoMX spatial profiling is presented along with the tissue types.
(B) Volcano plots of the COVID-19-positive versus normal tissues are shown for the five tissues from autopsy: heart (n = 41), kidney (n = 27), liver (n = 40), lung (n = 40), and lymph node (n = 27). Differentially expressed genes (>1.5-fold, q < 0.05, DESeq2) are shown as purple spots (downregulated in COVID-19) and orange (upregulated in COVID-19).
