MD plot allowing to visualize expression differences between synganglion and whole body, for all genes. On the y-axis, log-fold change (FC) between the expression level in the synganglion and in the whole body, measured in counts per million (cpm). On the x-axis: log count per million of reads averaged across all libraries, indicating overall level of expression Dots in red correspond to genes that are significantly up-regulated in the synganglion (logfold change > 2 and P-adjusted value < 0.05); dots in blue correspond to genes that are significantly down-regulated in the synganglion (logfold change < 2 and P-adjusted value < 0.05); dots in gray are genes with an expression level not signicantly different among tissues. Three outliers with among the highest values of logfold-change are distinguished (blastx description betwen parentheses): 1 (Putative apoptosis-promoting rna-binding protein tia-1/tiar rrm superfamily), 2 (Putative beta-amyloid-like protein), 3 (Microtubule-associated protein tau), 4 (Cathepsin B)
