Clusters of PrV gene expression levels identified by the k-means method. The average of normalized intensities for all mock-infected conditions and for each infected condition, centered (median) by genes were analyzed with the k-means method (three clusters). For each cluster, one graph and one clustering picture are represented. The graph shows the mean of the expression levels of all genes (x = Time; y = mean of levels of expression). The clustering picture depicts the mean of each gene expression level for all mock-infected time points and for each infected time point (x = Time; y = level of expression). The list of PrV amplicons belonging to each cluster, the list of the corresponding viral genes and the location of the corresponding proteins in virion structure (for amplicons that hybridize to a single transcript) are represented on the right. The names of the probes that are differentially expressed are represented in blue. To distinguish immediate early, early and late genes, early genes are underlined. All other genes are late genes except IE180 which is the only immediate early gene of PrV.
