Fig. 7.

Expression of collagen types 1, 5, 7, and 10 in the skin, operculum, caudal fin, and pectoral fin. For each sample, the left picture shows the complete tissue section within the capture frame; magnified areas are indicated by black circles, and detailed views of the complete section are given on the right side. The figure illustrates the average gene expression for collagens annotated with the same names, as listed in Supplementary File 1, and the color of the capture spots indicate the Log2 expression. Abbreviations: epithelium (Epi), loose connective tissue (Lct), dense connective tissue (Dct), bone (Bo), scale (Sc), and mesenchyme (Mes). ENS ID of genes is given in Supplementary File 1.
