Figure 1. Experimental scheme and variation of wing disc proteins.

Figure 1

(a) Flow of the experiments. Wing discs from wing-size-extreme Drosophila inbred lines were dissected and collected. SWATH-MS quantified wing disc proteomes for each line/sex, which were analysed to identify/characterize wing-size-associated proteins. (b) Reproducibility of the experiment. Pairwise Spearman's rank correlation coefficients between peptide levels showed higher correlations among biological replicates than among non-replicates. (c) Variation of protein levels; s.d. is plotted in an increasing manner. (d) Relationship between protein variation and protein abundance. Less abundant proteins show larger variations. (e) Cluster analysis of the proteome data matrix. Proteins (1,610 entries) and samples (30 lines × 2 sexes) are hierarchically clustered based on Spearman's correlations.
