Comparative transcriptome profiling of heat stress response of the mangrove crab Scylla serrata across sites of varying climate profiles

Table 2 For each gene, based on the model in Equation 1, we test the statistical hypotheses shown in the second column, which corresponds to the biological hypotheses in the third column

Effect type	Statistical null hypothesis	Biological null hypothesis
Main	β_E=0	Not differentially expressed between control and heat-stressed CAG groups.
Main	β_E+β_BAT.E=0	Not differentially expressed between control and heat-stressed BAT groups.
Main	β_E+β_BIC.E=0	Not differentially expressed between control and heat-stressed BIC groups.
Interaction	β_BAT.E = 0	Effect of heat stress is not different between CAG and BAT.
Interaction	β_BIC.E = 0	Effect of heat stress is not different between CAG and BIC.
