Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) represented four kinds of shell color variants.
WS, the oyster of whole white shell; BS, the oyster of whole black shell; GS, the oyster of whole golden shell; NS, the oyster of partially pigmentation shell.

Fig 2.
Venn digrams and histograms for numbers comparisons of DEGs among four DGE libraries (W_ME, B_ME, G_ME, N_ME).
Venn digrams represented the shared or specific DEGs among three pair-wise comparison between some one DGE library with any one of the three. The numbers of the shared DEGs are in the cross area, while the numbers of the specific DGEs are in the single area. Histogram represented the numbers of down-regulated (red), up-regulated (blue), and annotation (yellow) genes of DEGs in every pair-wise comparison. (a), W_ME compared with other three libraries in pairs (b), B_ME compared with other three libraries in pairs (c), G_ME compared with other three libraries in pairs (d), N_ME compared with other three libraries in pairs.
Fig 3.
Gene ontology classification of up-regulated genes in comparisons between WS with any of other three variants.
Orange represented molecular function, green represented biological process.
Fig 4.
The endocytosis pathway was significantly enriched from the KEGG pathways and shared based on DEGs in comparisons of WS vs any of other three variants.
Genes with green background were discovered in the RNA-seq, and genes with red text were up-regulated in WS.
