Quality control of RNA-seq data. a multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot showing variation among RNA-seq libraries. RNA-seq libraries from resistant, susceptible and Kisumu mosquitoes. b Results of qRT-PCR. The level of expression of 14 genes was measured by qRT-PCR from different resistant and susceptible mosquitoes than those used for RNA-seq. An axterix indicate genes significantly differentially expressed between resistant (green) and susceptible (pink) mosquitoes. c Pearson correlation between fold-changes in gene expression between resistant and susceptible mosquitoes as determined by qRT-PCR (X-axe) and RNA-seq (Y-axe)
