(a) Heat map and cluster dendogram showing differential gene expression between little spotted kiwi (LSK) and rowi. Green and red indicate low and high expression, respectively; data are normalized per gene and sample. Mean upregulation of genes in LSK relative to rowi (1753 genes) and vice versa (1331 genes) was ~8 and 5 fold and ranged from 2 to 701 fold per gene. (b) Biological process gene ontology (GO) assignments for genes significantly upregulated in LSK and rowi. Data are presented for GO terms representing 3% or greater of assignments for at least one species and are weighted by the number of genes with GO terms per species
