Effect of heat stress on lifespan and correlation with gene expression recovery. a Experimental setup used to collect lifespan data of 40 RILs and 54 ILs. An average of 31 animals were scored per genotype and treatment combination. b Comparison of the cumulative lifespan distribution of unperturbed (blue) and perturbed (orange) RILs and ILs. Thick lines correspond to the average, while the shaded area displays the 95% confidence interval. c Effect of heat stress on lifespan (measured as the ratio of the average lifespan after perturbation and without perturbation) correlates with the projection of recovery data on the genetic heat-stress axis for RILs and ILs. Strains recovering faster from heat stress experience a weaker effect on their lifespan
