Volcano plot and Venn diagram of DEGs in MPM mRNA expression profiling datasets. Volcano plots of the gene expression data from the a GSE50124, b GSE2549 datasets. DEGs were selected by P < 0.05 and |log2 (fold-change)|> 1.The horizontal axis represents the log2 (fold change) between MPM samples and non-cancerous tissue samples; the vertical axis represents the -log10 (adjusted P-values). The red dots represent the co-upregulated DEGs and the blue dots represent the co-downregulated DEGs. c The grey overlap represents the common DEGs between the two datasets. DEGs differentially expressed genes
