Correlated transcript fold change between orthologous TSSs in F. muscicola and F. thermalis. Scatterplots of transcript fold changes (FC) for orthologous gTSSs (a), orthologous aTSSs (b) and orthologous iTSSs (c) between F. muscicola and F. thermalis. Each dot represents an orthologous TSS for which a read coverage information in both conditions was obtained. Dots located in the first quadrant (upper right) are putative transcripts that are up-regulated within the branchless phenotype in both species. Dots located in the third quadrant (lower left) are down-regulated within the branchless phenotype in both species. Orthologous TSSs that do not show a consistent expression fold change are located in the second or fourth quadrant (upper left and lower right, respectively). The total amount of TSSs for each quadrant is listed in the plot corners. The consistent TSSs are the 5% most extreme fold changes and are highlighted as red dots. Transcript fold change is calculated as log2 of the ratio of branchless to true-branching transcription level
