Differential gene expression analysis of Retinal Determination Gene Network (RDGN) genes and phototransduction genes in Charinus whip spider deutembryos. Bar graphs display log2 fold change of selected RDGN and phototransduction genes. The denominator of the differential gene expression is the always the sample in the left. a, d: Comparison 1; Comparison between reads of early (pre-eyespot) and late deutembryos (eyespot) of the eye-bearing species C. ioanniticus mapped onto C. ioanniticus transcriptome. b, e: Comparison 2.1; Comparison between reads of early deutembryo of C. ioanniticus and early deutembryo of C. israelensis mapped onto C. israelensis transcriptome. c, f: Comparison 2.2; Comparison between reads of early deutembryo of C. ioanniticus and early deutembryo of C. israelensis mapped onto C. ioanniticus transcriptome. atoA/B: atonalA/atonalB; dacA/B: dachshundA/B; eya: eyes absent; eyg: eyegone; otdA/B: orthodenticleA/B; soA/B: sine oculisA/B. Arr2: Arrestin-2; Arr2-likeA/B: Arrestin-2-like A/B. Asterisks denote genes that are differentially expressed with a padj > 0.05. Log2FC = 0 for atoA, OptixB, and soB for Comparison 1 and Comparison 2.2 are due to the absence of those paralogs in C. ioanniticus reference transcriptome. Log2FC = 0 for Arr2 in Comparison 2.1 is due to absence of this gene in C. israelensis reference transcriptome
