Example transcript and protein patterns. (A) Transcripts in patterns U-E-U-EN and E-ED and (B) proteins in patterns D-E and U-U-E-E. For each transcript or protein in the respective pattern, the mean sample/reference ratios in the eight time points (stages 1–4=S1–S4, EON=EN, EOD=ED) are shown and connected with grey lines. At each time point, a boxplot using Tukey’s standard definition illustrates the distribution of the ratios. The blue line depicts the stage differences by connecting the means between the EOD and EON samples for each stage and the red lines the EOD and EON differences at each stage.
