The validation of selected hub TFs by RT-qPCR: Heatmap are constructed of qPCR and RNA-seq data for 16 selected genes. The relationship between the relative expression levels of RNA-seq and qPCR data (mean-centered log2 expression values) are shown as a heatmap. The color red denotes higher gene expression levels, whereas the color blue denotes lower gene expression levels when compared to the mean of all samples., respectively (from 2 over 0 to − 2). Statistical differences are represented by FDR for the RNA-seq data and by P value for qPCR data (P < 0.05)
