Bean plot of fold changes during in vivo passage in cattle for selected gene groups. White dashes represent fold changes for individual genes, black bars the median value of the group. The grey regions is a density plot of the data’s distribution. Values are normalised to the median value of the appropriate ‘All gene’ group. Essential cholesterol genes were those described by Griffin et al, 2011 [64] less the mce4 operon. The plots were created with BoxPlotR [80], p values are from hypergeometric tests, * < 0.05, ** < 0.01, *** < 0.001
