From: Acute exposure to mercury drives changes in gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster
Effects of inorganic mercury exposure on gene expression. Exposure to HgCl2 in adult female Drosophila resulted in up-regulation of 119 genes and down-regulation of 31 genes compared with the control treatment. Values along the X-axis are log2 fold-change of the HgCl2/control contrast, and along the Y-axis are − log10 Benjamini–Hochberg FDR-adjusted P-values. Vertical dashed lines highlight absolute log2 fold-change (LFC) values > 2, horizontal dashed line indicates the significance threshold PFDR < 0.01. Genes that are significant and have LFC values > 2 are shown in red, those that are significant but with LFC values < 2 are in blue, genes that are not significant but have LFC values > 2 are in yellow, and genes that are not significant and with LFC values < 2 are in grey. The top 10 upregulated and top 10 downregulated genes (ranked by PFDR) are annotated with gene symbols, and include all 5 metallothionein genes in D. melanogaster (e.g. MtnB), and several vitelline membrane genes (e.g. Vm26Ab)
