Figure 5From: The importance of tissue specificity for RNA-seq: highlighting the errors of composite structure extractionsDistribution of ratios of the expression of each gene in both the sting gland and the digestive tract relative to the whole abdomen. A value of 1 means that the gene’s RPKM value was equal in the tissue specific and the composite extraction, while a value above 1 means that the gene was expressed at a higher rate in the tissue specific extraction and showed dilution in the composite extraction. Genes showing dilution are candidates for specialized function.Back to article page
