Transcriptome sequencing of a keystone aquatic herbivore yields insights on the temperature-dependent metabolism of essential lipids

Table 1 Overview of altered transcripts in COG regulated independent from basal diets. Two-way ANOVA results of D. magna expression profiles were cross-matched [47] between GA and CY diets to determine common gene expression patterns in functional COG groups. Resulting transcript numbers are given in connection with the respective factors
