FIGURE 5

Pattern similarity and differences in the DVC and CeA. (A) Each cell shows the number of genes with the pattern combination found by matching the pattern in the DVC, rows, with the pattern in the CeA, columns (DVC patterns shown at left, CeA patterns shown at top). The 18 genes with the same pattern in the DVC and the CeA are included in the diagonal (yellow). Dotted box outlines highlight several cells with genes that have more diurnal dynamics in the CeA than in the DVC. Double box outlines highlight the reverse: cells with genes that have more diurnal dynamics in the DVC than in the CeA. The cells shaded in gray indicate transcripts with no diurnal pattern in the alternate brain region. (B) Histogram of the alignment scores of all 145 genes. Genes with low alignment scores (<3.7) like that illustrated at the top left and genes with high alignment scores (>5.5) like that illustrated in the top right are shaded in dark gray. The genes in these categories are listed in order of increasing alignment score within the corresponding region. Genes with moderately low (<4.1) and moderately high (>5.0) alignment scores are shaded in light gray. (C) The average −ΔΔCT values of Rgs family members (column 1), glutamate receptors (column 2), and transcription factors (column 3) with low, moderately low, moderately high, or high alignment scores are shown. All genes within the group with high or moderately high alignment scores are shown in the top row, while all genes within the group with low or moderately low alignment scores are shown in the bottom row. Each gene is shown in a different color with solid lines representing the gene expression data from DVC samples and dotted lines representing the gene expression data from CeA samples.
