Fig. 2

Analysis of transcript abundance. Shown are differential expression values for genes with at least 50 transcript reads in every sample. Each dot represents one gene. Genes with significantly similar transcript abundances (log fold change < 1.5; adjusted p-value < 0.05) are labeled blue, the remaining ones red. Only genes with similar transcript abundances in at least two of the four comparisons were kept for downstream analyses. Up- and downward pointing triangles at the top and bottom margins of the plots represent data points outside of the range depicted. Only a few isolated data points to the right have been omitted for better display
