Embryonic and nervous system (NS) expression of NER genes in Drosophila melanogaster and Mus musculus. Graphical representation of transcript expression during embryonic development, according to high-throughput expression data. (a) D. melanogaster expression data from ModENCODE (www.modencode.org) tissue and temporal expression data; (b) M. musculus expression data from Expression Atlas (www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/home) embryonic and tissue expression data. Data mining was performed according to all developmental stages (embryonic expression) and specific nervous system expression (larval expression for Drosophila and embryonic expression for mouse). Arbitrary values were attributed according to expression levels (1, low; 2, moderate; and 3, high) and plotted in parallel.
