^a upregulated (UP)/ downregulated (DOWN)
^b the DEGs (781 upregulated and 1535 downregulated) were ranked according to their RPKM in descending order, the number (percentage) describes the position of the DEG in the ranked table
^c not significant
^d not applicable (expression low to undetectable in both samples, transcript filtered out)
