Figure 1. Analysis of changes in gene expression among four developmental stages in D. catenatum.
(A) The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was obtained from comparisons of S1 versus S2, S1 versus S3, S1 versus S4, S2 versus S3, S2 versus S4 and S3 versus S4. (B) All DEGs were classified into six clusters by short time-series expression miner (STEM, P value < 0.05). (C) Heat map illustrating the expression profiles of the developmental-differentially expressed genes. (D) Venn diagrams of the DEGs in different comparisons.
