Heat map and volcano map of DEGs from four groups of Candida species. AB Candida albicans, CD Candida glabrata, EF Candida parapsilosis, and GH Candida tropicalis. In heat maps, gene expression data are converted into a data matrix. Each column represents the genetic data of a sample, and each row represents a gene. The color of each cell represents the expression level, and there are references to expression levels in different colors in the upper right corner of the figure. In volcano maps, red dots indicated up-regulated genes. The green or blue dots indicated down-regulated genes. Black dots indicated the rest of the genes with no significant expression change. The threshold was set as followed: P < 0.05 and |log2FC|≥ 1. FC: fold change
