Fig. 3

Differential expression of the eye tissue samples versus the mixed tissue samples. The y-axis shows log2 fold change of gene expression, with points greater than 0 being more highly expressed in the eye tissue samples compared to the mixed tissue samples and the x-axis are mean normalized counts of the 3 replicates for each transcript. Points in pale blue have an adjusted p-value greater than 0.05, while points in grey are said to be significantly differentially expressed, having an adjusted p-value less than 0.05. Points of different shapes and colors represent the various opsins. R-opsin is the most differentially expressed, followed by chaopsin. With the exception of c-opsin 1.1b and neuropsin, all opsins are significantly differentially expressed in the eyes of A. planci compared to the mixed tissue samples
