MDS of Gene Expression Profiles of Bat Tissues. a We assessed the biological validity and quality of our transcriptome annotations by performing Multidimensional Scaling (using 1-spearman correlation as distance) on gene expression profiles of all tissues using the 22,398 genes as feature vector. The first two coordinates explained 73.9 % of the variance in the data. b We performed hierarchical clustering of expression profiles using 1-spearman correlation as distance. The clustering suggested presence of three groups that correspond to separate developmental origins. Tissues used are Bone (BM), Brain (BR), Heart (HT), Kidney (KY), Liver (LV), Lung (LG), Lymph (LN), Ovary (OV), PBMC (PB), Spleen (SP), Testes (TT) of the male (M) and female (F) bat
