Fig. 2

Graphical representation of genes differentially expressed between La-Sb^III-S and La-Sb^III-R. The figure represents the MA plot constructed based on the DESeq2 results, showing the relationship between mean expression (normalised counts) and fold-change for each gene. Each point represents one gene. Gray dots indicate the genes that were not differentially expressed and the red dots, located above and below of black discontinuous lines (cut-off for the fold-change (log fold-change > 1 and < − 1), represent differentially expressed genes with abs [log2(FC)] > 1 and an adjusted P-value < 0.01, between La-Sb^III-S and La-Sb^III-R
