Fig. 2

Tissue-specific gene expression of MRT and haemolymph in LT and MV. Volcano plots display the relative abundance levels of upregulated transcripts in MRT and haemolymph compared to the whole body. The x-axis represents the log2 of the expression ratio (FC = fold change) for each transcript (tissue specific logCPM: whole body logCPM, where CPM stands for Counts Per Million reads); the y-axis represents the log10 of the p-value corrected for the false discovery rate (FDR). Red dots represent differentially expressed transcripts with logFDR < 0.001 and at least 2-fold difference in logCPM; black dots if logFDR > 0.001. Negative logFC values indicate transcripts enhanced in the target tissue subsets, while positive values indicate transcripts upregulated in the whole body
