From: Disentangling the aging gene expression network of termite queens
Median expression profiles of DETs assigned to Iso-MaSigPro clusters. Iso-MaSigPro grouped the differentially expressed transcripts (DETs) into six clusters. DETs of cluster 1, 4 and 6 were especially highly expressed in old queens, while those of cluster 3 and 5 characterized middle-aged queens and those of cluster 2 young queens. The expression values correspond to normalized counts (see Methods). The youngest queen (age: 2 years) was taken as time step zero and each of the subsequent older queens (based on chronological age) were considered to be one time step older. One age class (time step 8; age: 10 years) consisted of two samples
