Fig. 2From: RNA sequencing analysis to capture the transcriptome landscape during skin ulceration syndrome progression in sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus Dynamic expression patterns in A. japonicus during SUS progression. The expression profiles of the DEGs [the log2Ratio ≥1 and the RPKM >2 at a minimum of one time-point] were determined over the three stages of SUS progression by clustering analysis based on the K-means method using the Euclidean distance algorithm. The three points along the x-axis represent I-SUS-BW/H-BW, II-SUS-BW/H-BW and III-SUS-BW/H-BW. Each tick on the y-axis represents a value of 1. Midline represents 0. “+1” represents up-regulated expression. “-1” represents down-regulated expressionBack to article page
