FIGURE 2: Long- and short-lived mutants and their functional enrichments.(A) Volcano plot of differences in mutant abundance on Day 3 relative to Day 0 (log2 fold-change), based on Bar-seq of re-growth experiment, using edgeR analysis of three independent repeats [86]. Significance was determined using a fold-change (FC) cut-off of |log2(FC)| >log2(1.5) and a false discovery rate (FDR) cut-off of <0.05. (B) Selected functional enrichments from Metascape [87] are shown for long- and short-lived mutants, including chromatin-related terms (green), autophagy-related terms (red), mitochondrial-related terms (blue) and other terms (black). The colour scale indicates significance expressed as -log10 p-values, and the size of the dots reflects the percentage of the input genes among all genes associated with the respective GO term.
