Figure 2 - Transcriptome comparison between sexual and asexual
population. A) Two-dimensional principal component analysis based on
head transcriptomes from sexual (black) and asexual (red) populations.
Samples, based on the expression profile of 14,106 genes, clustered
according to population. B) Volcano plot illustrated variations in gene
expression between sexual and asexual populations, the y axis measured
the statistical significance (FDR) while the x axis indicated the
magnitude of change. Grey points represented the 1,539 DEG, while genes
not differentially expressed were represented by blue dots including thefor gene pointed in red. C) Comparison of normalized counts
number of the for gene between the 3 asexual (red) and 3 sexual
(black) RNA-seq libraries.
Table 2 – Behavioural genes belonging to the DEGs between
sexual and asexual populations. Among the 1539 DEGs between sexual and
asexual populations, 26 transcripts were annotated has related to
behaviour GO term, or one of its child GO terms. The population in which
the transcript was overexpressed was indicated as well as its fold
change (log2), with positive values when overexpressed in sexual
population, and negative values in asexual population.
