Figure 7
The expression pattern of TFs and non-TFs within differential or non-differential gene sets. The boxplot shows that the TFs expressed at a slightly lower level than the non-TFs. However, the expression pattern for TFs as compared to non-TFs within the differential genes is very similar as that within the whole set of the arrayed genes, indicating that the relatively low expression of TFs did not influence the screening of the differential TF genes in this study. DEG: differential genes; non-DEG: non-differential genes.
