Figure 1

Volcano plot showing the magnitude of differential expression (log2 fold-change) compared to the measure of statistical significance (-log10 q-value). Color is on the density scale, so darker colors indicate over-plotting of points. Statistically significant genes are observed above the horizontal line, which corresponds to a q-value of 0.05. The low variability in the data caused a large number of genes (2,546) to be classified as statistically significant.
