Figure 1.

The A. gambiae expression map. Expression data from all publicly available experiments, representing 93 assay conditions, was summarised for 10194 genes and clustered using the self-organizing map algorithm. The area of the grey circles represents the number of genes mapping to each discrete node on the map (minimum 1, maximum 114). The four panels show the same map with different annotations that indicate regions of the map associated with high expression in various conditions: a Development from embryo to adult male and female [8,10]; b Embryonic development [17]; c Organs and tissues [8,10,11,17]; d Uninfected blood meal time course [8] (BF: blood fed, NBF: non-blood fed).
