For the present analysis, the following steps were taken:
Quality of raw Illumina reads was assessed using FastQC.
Transcript quantification was performed using Salmon.
Gene-level counts were calculated using tximport.
Differential expression analysis was performed using DESeq2.
For differentially expressed genes identified between and across treatments, Gene Ontology enrichment analysis was performed using topGO.
GO term database was constructed using datasets available from Ensembl.
Plots, such as barcharts and heatmaps, were generated using ggpubr and ggplot2.
Computational support was kindly provided by the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC).
