¹D (Down), significantly decreased expression; U (Up), significantly increased expression; F (Flat), no significant change. Each symbol (D, U, F) represents the direction of change in gene expression between any two adjacent developmental time points. Each cluster is represented by these symbols across four developmental intervals. Only clusters containing more than 50 genes are shown.
²Number of significantly differentially expressed genes in each cluster.
