Figure 2

Colorgram depicting the expression of EC-restricted genes in different cell types in the primary set. The columns represent the samples and rows represent the genes. Gene expression is shown with a pseudocolor scale (-3 to 3) with red color denoting high expression level and green color denoting low expression level of the gene. The scatter plots along the heatmap depict the different patterns in expression of EC-restricted genes obtained using K mean clustering. The K mean clusters are represented as scatter plots with bars denoting the mean expression level. Pattern I and IV depict a range of expression patterns exhibited by EC-restricted genes. For example pattern IV and I denotes the genes that are highly expressed in all endothelial cell types (pan EC) and HMVEC cells respectively.
