Copies can be regulated in a tissue-specific manner. A Differential top tissue for expressed members of a same family. Local scatterplot of each family displaying the abundance of each member of the indicated C/D families. The color of the circles represents the tissue in which the member is most abundant. B The rank of abundance of members of a family can change between tissues. Categorical heatmap showing the member of highest abundance for all C/D families across tissues. Only families with two or more expressed members in at least one tissue are shown. Member 1 is the member with highest total abundance in all tissues, member 2 has the second highest total abundance, and so on. Families in which at least two distinct members are the most abundant in different tissues are said to have a switch in the most abundant member across tissues. C-F Abundance patterns of family members across tissues for chosen families. Bar charts displaying the abundance of all expressed (> = 1 TPM on average) members across all tissues considered for a given family. Families can display consistent ranking across tissues as shown for the SNORD12 family, or switches between family members as shown for the SNORD58, SNORD50 and SNORD53/92 families
