Cumulative transcriptome expression is matched to tissue type. Cumulative sum of fraction of tissue-specific transcriptomes represented by individual genes in (A) canine embryos at four gestational time points; and (B) up to five individual adult dogs. Single-gene counts per million (CPM) values were divided by sample-sum CPM, sorted in increasing order, and the cumulative sum calculated. Cumulative values are shown for the 1000 top-expressed genes in each sample. Data sampled from a given embryonic tissue at different gestational time points are very similar, perhaps reflecting the fairly narrow time window of sampling. Combining data from adult and embryonic samples (C) reveals strong similarity of data from given tissue types across individuals and developmental stages.
