Fig. 3From: Gene expression underlying enhanced, steroid-dependent auditory sensitivity of hair cell epithelium in a vocal fishSpearman's correlation of gene and transcript expression. Sample relationships based on (a) gene and (b) transcript expression were scaled to a color gradient based on Spearman's correlations among tissue groups. As in Fig. 2, the saccular epithelium (SE) tissues grouped together, but still showed strong differentiation between seasons. This difference is much more apparent at the level of the transcripts than the genes. The SE columns, the focus of this study, are highlighted by a black box. Abbreviations are as in Fig. 2 Back to article page
