Higher expression of somatic repair genes in long-lived ant queens than workers
Figure 1. Position of our set of somatic repair genes in a ranked list of all isogroups. The horizontal line represents the list of isogroups, ranked according the their significance in bias towards queens or workers, with isogroups in the middle showing relatively unbiased expression. Each vertical bar represents the position of one of our candidate genes. The P-values were generated by the GSEA analysis and represent a test of the null hypothesis that the blue bars are randomly distributes along the black line. (a) RNA extracted from brains of 1-day-old individuals. (b) RNA extracted from the brains of 2-month-old individuals. (c) RNA extracted from legs of 1-day-old individuals. (d) RNA extracted from legs of 2-month-old individuals.
