Table 2
Summary of differentially expressed (DE) contigs among the comparisons of the three RNA-seq libraries from Porphyra umbilicalis. Maximum fold difference is calculated as the fold-change in RPKM, or the reads per kilobase of exon model per million mapped reads, and excludes fold-changes in reads that were not present in one library
