FIGURE 6.

Differential expression of genes with roles in mitochondrial function and proliferation control in GEMM cells, CMV⁺ cells, and the rest of the population. Heatmap (A,B) and distributions (C–H) of Log₂ ratio values obtained by dividing the mean number of transcripts/cell of genes with roles in mitochondrial functions (A,C–E) and in proliferation control (B,F–H) as found in the CMV⁺ or GEMM clusters by the mean number of transcripts/cell in the rest of the cells (CMV/REST, green line, and GEMM/REST, blue line) or in GEMM cells (CMV/GEMM, red line). The heatmap color scales refer to the Log₂ ratio values. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to identify populations with median values significantly different from zero. The population with the lowest P-value is highlighted by coloring of the area under the curve. The dashed line marks the ratio = 1 point. N, number of genes in each category.
