Figure 2

This figure represents the normalized transcript level (read number per coding length per million reads) for each gene across the developmental stages including 23 embryo stages separated by 30 minute interval, four larval stages (L1-L4), pre-gravid young adult, and gravid young adult. For comparing germline expression, we’ve included the transcript level from JK1107 carrying a mutation in glp-1, which is essential for mitotic germ cell proliferation [71]. The heatmap represents normalized transcript level from high (yellow) to low (blue). Seven distinct clusters that are based on their expression pattern are shown by colored branches. Purple: early-embryonic; Brown: early- and mid-embryonic; Red: mid-embryonic; Blue: late-embryonic; Green: mid- and late-embryonic; Orange: gastrulation; Black: larval.
