Figure 2.

Patterns of gene transcription regulation in white adipose tissue by GK/BN polymorphisms in GK and BN rats and in congenic strains. Conserved gene expression patterns between BN.GK congenic rats and controls and between GK and BN rats are shown for all differentially expressed genes (A) and those localized in congenic intervals (B). Conservation of gene expression changes in congenics targeting overlapping genomic regions is illustrated by plotting expression ratio in strains BN.GK1b and BN.GK1f (C) and in reciprocal strains BN.GK8b and GK.BN8a (D). Full details of differentially expressed genes are given in Table S4.
