Figure 5. The Electron Transport Chain Decreases Expression with Age in Humans, Mice, and Flies.

Figure 5

Rows represent either human tissues or model organisms. Columns correspond to individual human genes and homologs to human genes defined by reciprocal best BLAST hits in other species. Scale represents the normalized slope of the change in log2 expression level with age (β1j). Data from different species were normalized by dividing the slope of expression with age by the standard deviation of all similar slopes in the dataset. Gray indicates genes were not present in that species. A navigable version of this figure showing identities of specific genes can be found at http://cmgm.stanford.edu/~kimlab/aging_muscle.
