From: Comparative venom-gland transcriptomics and venom proteomics of four Sidewinder Rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes) lineages reveal little differential expression despite individual variation

Figure 4

Significant relationships recovered by the consensus of DESeq2 and edgeR seen in Fig. 3. (A) SVMPIII-10 expression changes with size. Dotted-line and standard error represent the average toxin trend. (B) Expression of VEGF-1 in C. c. cercobombus relative to C. c. laterorepens. (C) MYO-1 expression in the mitochondrial Colorado lineage relative to the Sonoran lineage. (D) MYO-1 expression in the nontoxin Colorado lineage relative to all three of the remaining lineages; additionally, the Sonoran lineage maintained significantly higher levels of MYO-1 compared to the South Mojave lineage. (E) BPP-1 expression in the nontoxin North Mojave lineage relative to both the South Mojave and Sonoran lineages; given only one BPP was recovered, this relationship was retained in toxin class expression analyses in Fig. 5. (F) VEGF-1 expression in the Sonoran lineage relative to the South Mojave lineage.
