Differential gene expression pattern analysis for vocal fold versus trachea identified by RNA sequencing. Transcriptomic heatmap exhibiting clustering of 220 genes differentially expressed (116 were upregulated (red) and 104 were downregulated (green) in the vocal fold condition; Adjusted P < 0.05). Most highly expressed genes with their associated overrepresented biologic terms are indicated within each cluster pattern (right). Rainbow colored dendrogram panel represents clustering of genes, where closely related genes will be grouped together. Genes within a cluster are in a similar color and more correlated to each other than to genes outside that cluster
