Fig. 5: Transcriptional and genomic divergence of genes with selection signals in the estuarine oyster.
From: Genome of the estuarine oyster provides insights into climate impact and adaptive plasticity
a Expression level of genes under selection in northern (N) and southern (S) populations (capital letters) acclimated to northern (n) and southern (s) environments (lowercase letters), showing low plasticity (LP, orange) and high plasticity (HP, purple) genes. The blue-to-red color bar represents the relative expression level of the given gene from low to high. b Genetic divergence (FST) for genic and intergenic regions at genome level (left) and for 29 genes under selection (middle), and for LP and HP genes in both genic and intergenic regions (Total, right). c Genetic divergence (FST) for intergenic [Up: upstream (left) and Down: downstream (right)] and genic (middle) regions of LP and HP genes. Asterisks indicate significant difference (*p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001). The data are presented as box plots; the central rectangle spans the first to third quartiles of the distribution, and the ‘whiskers’ above and below the box show the maximum and minimum estimates. The line inside the rectangle shows the median, the circles represent outliers.
