a Log2-fold change in normalized counts between the mixture tissue and musk gland, as well as between the heart and a musk gland. The points represent genes, and genes with significant over-expression (FDR < 0.05) in the musk gland are colored. A cutoff of log2-fold change < − 5 in both comparisons is also applied to screen genes with high expression specifically in the musk gland. b KEGG pathway enrichment of DEGs in the Siberian musk deer. The x-axis shows the KEGG functional categories, while eh the number of genes in each category is plotted on the y-axis
