Fig. 4From: Gonadal transcriptomes associated with sex phenotypes provide potential male and female candidate genes of sex determination or early differentiation in Crassostrea gigas, a sequential hermaphrodite molluscHeat map of 84 genes resulting from the DEA. Hierarchical clustering obtained using Pearson’s correlation on the 84 genes differentially expressed between males and females and between gametogenetic stages. Each column represents a stage associated to a sex, each row represents a gene. The clustering branch indicates similarity between genes or samples. The color scale represents the normalized log values (log10 FPKM) and indicates the different expression levels of transcripts, with shades of orange for higher gene expressions and shades of blue for lower gene expressions. st0: stage 0; st1: stage 1; st3: stage 3; M: male; F: femaleBack to article page
