Figure 6. Differentially expressed genes in Osteocalcin expressing cells.

To further dissect subsets of osteoblastic lineage cells; cells which had detectable levels of Ostocalcin (Osteocalcin⁺) were divided from the non Osteocalcin expressing cells (Osteocalcin⁻). The differential gene expression was then determined between these two groups by non-parametric t-test resulting in 5 significantly differentially expressed genes (p<0.05, FDR 5%). The normalized expression data above background between these two groups was plotted as violin plots of Log₂ Expression for each gene showing the detectable expression profiles between the cell populations.
