Fig. 1From: Early response to heat stress in Chinese tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis): performance of different sexes, candidate genes and networksAnalysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under heat stress. a Principal component analysis (PCA) showed a clear cluster separation of the control (CT) and heat-stress (HS) groups. In CT group, females, pseudomales and males were apart from each other. In HS group, pseudomales and males formed one cluster while females exhibited another cluster. Each plot represents an average expression level of three biological replicants. b Number of DEGs identified from females, pseudomales and males between control (CT) and heat-stress (HS) groups. Red and blue colors indicate up-regulated and down-regulated genes in HS vs. CT, respectively. c Venn diagram depicting the distribution of the DEGs in HS vs. CT comparison in females, pseudomales and malesBack to article page
