Figure 7
PADs paralogs pattern of expression. Proteins are classified as belonging to one of the four paralogy groups (PAD 1, 2, 3, 4, 6) in columns. Lines correspond to tissue expression and cell categories. Numbers correspond to normalized number of hit (means of number of hit/number of clone × 1 000 000). Tissues are separated in adult tissues, cells and foetal tissues. In order to compare the expression levels from EST libraries between the different paralogous copies of PAD genes, we used the statistical test described by Audic and Claverie [25]. For each tissue type and cell category we compared the EST expression data (number of hits/number of clones in the considered library) for a given species between the different paralogous copies of PAD genes. NS: not significant. ** statistically significant difference.
