Correlation between cytoplasmic mRNA abundance of GAL genes in individual cells. (a) Heat map of number of GAL7 and GAL1 mRNAs in 195 individual cells. The color of each point indicates the number of cells observed at that value as specified by the color bar at the bottom. The marginal histograms represent the frequency of GAL7 mRNAs per cell (top) and GAL1 mRNAs per cell (right) across the entire population. The expression of GAL7 (top) ranged between 0 and 40 mRNAs per cell with a mean (μGAL7) of 10.6±0.7 and a standard deviation (σGAL7) of 9.9 transcripts. The expression of GAL1 (right) ranged between 0 and 40 mRNAs per cell with μGAL1 = 9.0±0.7 and σGAL1 = 11.1. The correlation (r) between transcripts of these two genes in the same cell was 0.69±0.04. (b) Pair-wise correlation between the number of GAL10 and GAL1 transcripts in 325 cells. Marginal histograms: μGAL10 = 7.6±0.5, σGAL10 = 8.1 (top); μGAL1 = 9.2±0.5, σGAL1 = 10.4 (right). Error bars indicate s.e.m.
