Heatmap showing relative gene expression patterns of C. dipterum larvae post exposure to sublethal concentrations of fipronil. The top 48 core DEGs are shown based on their adjusted p-values (rows). The relative expression signal for each gene is shown as the variance-transformed normalized counts, centered around the control group’s mean and scaled by the global standard deviation. The color red indicates an enhanced expression and the color blue denotes a suppressed expression relative to the global control's mean expression of a gene. The color above each column indicates the corresponding exposure condition. Each row stands for a biological replicate
