Figure 2

Principal component analysis (PCA) plot of RNA expression. In both (a) mRNA and (b) miRNA, PC1 explained around 20% of the total variation and PC2 explained approximately 10%. PC1 closely reflects the earliest phylogenetic split among these eight cichlid fishes (as depicted with the black lines) and separated cichlid groups from the Neotropics (on the left) and Africa (to the right) into distinct lineages.
