Figure 3From: Messenger RNA sequencing and pathway analysis provide novel insights into the biological basis of chickens’ feed efficiency Upstream regulators JunB and MEF2C. A. Transcription factor JunB is predicted to be activated in the high-FE chickens by Ingenuity Upstream Regulator Analysis with P-value = 1.20E-03 and Z-score = 2.425. B. MEF2C is predicted to be activated in the high-FE chickens with P-value = 3.11E-02 and Z-score = 2.186. Red and green nodes indicate genes up- and down-regulated in the high-FE chicken, respectively. The color intensity is proportional to the degree of fold change. The upstream regulators are colored with their predicted activation states: orange (activated). Edges connecting the nodes are colored with orange when upstream regulators have activating effects on their target genes.Back to article page
