Gene Ontology enrichment analyses. A GO biological processes significantly enriched (chi-square test p-value < 0.05, min. 3 OE genes with the GO id) with genes being significantly under-expressed (framed in red, FDR < 0.01 and log₂foldchange <  − 0.5 in DESeq2 and EdgeR) in A. vaga individuals entering desiccation (in gray) and 1.5 h post-rehydration after 14 days of desiccation (in yellow). B GO biological processes significantly enriched (chi-square test 1-value < 0.05, with a minimum of 3 OE genes with a GO id) with genes being significantly over-expressed (framed in green, FDR < 0.01 and log₂foldchange > 0.5 in DESeq2 and EdgeR) in A. vaga individuals entering desiccation (in gray) and 1.5 h post-rehydration after 14 days of desiccation (in yellow). C Venn diagrams with number of genes significantly over- (green outlines) and under-expressed (red outlines) in A. vaga individuals entering desiccation (gray) or after rehydration and 14 days of desiccation (yellow), showing 915 genes commonly over-expressed and 1885 genes commonly under-expressed. D Venn diagrams of genes significantly over-expressed in A. vaga individuals under three different conditions of radiation at 2.5 h and 8 h post irradiation and/or rehydration: hydrated A. vaga individuals irradiated with X-rays (blue), desiccated A. vaga individuals irradiated with X-rays post-rehydration (orange), desiccated A. vaga individuals irradiated with Fe post-rehydration (purple). At 2.5 h and 8 h post irradiation and/or rehydration, respectively 906 and 724 genes are over-expressed in the three conditions. E GO biological processes significantly enriched (chi-square test p-value < 0.05, min. 3 OE genes with the GO id) with genes found to be over-expressed in the core response to radiation (906 genes 2.5 h post-radiation and 724 genes 8 h post-radiation)
