Fig. 3: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identification.

a Normalization of raw counts by DESeq 2 using Variance Stabilizing Transformation (VST). b Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of calcifediol supplemented (treated) cohorts, where blue bubbles represent baseline, red bubbles represent 3rd month and green bubbles represent 6th month. c Comparisons of the numbers of differentially expressed genes [differentially expressed (DE) features] at various time points. d Venn Diagrams depicting common and unique Upregulated and (e) downregulated differentially expressed genes in the calcifediol supplemented subjects at the 3rd and 6th month.
