Heatmap of the expression profiles of the top 20 lncRNAs expressed in VL patients (PD0). The top selection retrieved those genes within the dataset of 147 primarily selected DE lncRNAs ( Supplementary Table 2 ) based on ranking of statistical significance (FDR values) followed by fold regulation (log₂FC values). Gene expression regulation by group is represented by the z score of the cpm read count, and the transition color scale from red to blue indicates up- and downregulation, respectively. Gene expression level is represented by mean FPKM values at the side (green heatmap column), where color intensity toward dark green indicates increasing levels (highly expressed lncRNAs).
