The Expl column lists the explanatory variables included in the full model and their corresponding likelihood ratios (LR) and p-value (p). The factors ‘plate’ (15 levels) and ‘species’ (3 levels) were fitted as explanatory variables to control for any potential effect on the variation of gene expression. Bold text indicates p ≤ 0.05. Transformed values used: - log (ΔCt_gene).
