Figure 3
Comparison of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) detected with DESeq2 and edgeR in the D10 vs. D150 contrast.
(a) Comparative graphical representation of the logFC values resulting from the differential expression analysis performed for the D10 vs. D150 contrast with the edgeR package (X-axis) and the DESeq2 package (Y-axis). To help the comparison, a color code is used to distinguish the following categories: logFC values of the genes exclusively detected as DEGs by edgeR (red); logFC values of the genes exclusively detected as DEGs by DESeq2 (green); logFC values of the genes detected as DEGs by both packages (yellow); logFC values of the genes not identified as DEG by any software (black). For the genes detected as DEGs by both packages (colored in yellow) the expression levels (logFC values) measured by the two packages showed a high and linear correlation (r2 = 0.99).
