Expression profiles of F-box protein-coding genes differentially expressed during nematode developmental stages. The relative transcript abundances of F-box genes were determined by RNA-seq assay and visualized as a heatmap. The color scale (representing Z-Score of expression signal values) is shown at the top. Similar expression patterns clustered the developmental stages and paralogs. a. Expression profiles of 377 F-box protein-coding genes in C. elegans at different developmental stages. The X-axis indicates different developmental stages, including Embryo (EE), L1 Larvae early (LE), L1 Larvae (L1), L2 Larvae (L2), L3 Larvae (L3), L4 Larvae (L4), and Young adult (YA). b. Expression profiles of 192 F-box protein-coding genes in C. briggsae at different developmental stages. The X-axis indicates different developmental stages, including Embryo (EE), L2 Larvae (L2), L4 Larvae (L4), and Young adult (YA)
