Conservation analysis. (A) Hierarchal clustering of pair-wise distance matrix based on expression profile of orthologs in each species. Bootstrap scores supporting the consensus tree (percentage) are indicated at each node. (B) Sequence conservation of shared DEGs versus species-specific DEGs. For each species, the bit score, obtained from the permutated blastn analysis, was compared between shared DEGs and species-specific DEGs. Bold horizontal bars indicate the average, boxes indicate the upper and lower 0.25 quartile, dashed bars indicate the max/min scores (excluding extremes), circles indicate the extremes, and notch overlaps indicate non-significant differences (P ≤ 0.05).
