The effects of cappz1 mutation and tBOOH induced stress on the gene expression of C. albicans. Heat maps organized in five groups (a-e) demonstrate the expression profiles of selected gene groups according to the color scale. Besides the comparisons described in Fig. 2, the tBOOH treated control cells were compared to the mutant cells treated in the same way (KOt vs WTt) in order to highlight a positive interaction between the oxidative stress and the cappz1 mutation. RNA-Seq data from three independent biological replicates were analyzed. Black dots and systematic names indicate the genes that were selected for further analysis by RT-qPCR. The color scale indicates gene expression changes in log2FC units. Additional file 3: Dataset S6 summarizes the data that were used for the construction of all heat maps
