Overview of the experimental design used in the differential expression . Animals were collected in 2009 and acclimated to 5°C until the start of experimentation. Subsequently, exposure experiments were conducted for a time period of 10 weeks for all treatments. After exposure, tissue samples were taken and total RNA was extracted for analyses by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Sequencing. Sequencing data were used for differential expression analysis by DESeq.
