From: The forgotten variable? Does the euthanasia method and sample storage condition influence an organisms transcriptome – a gene expression analysis on multiple tissues in pigs

Fig. 1

Heat maps of gene expression data from pituitary, hypothalamus, liver and lungs samples (Fig A- D) comparing the two euthanasia methods, ANOXIA and T61. Each row represents a gene and each column represents a sample. The top 20 genes ranked based on magnitude of gene expression are depicted and the colours of the tiles represent the measured expression value of a gene in that sample. The data is normalized using the variance stabilization transformation. The samples are named by combining the euthanasia method and storage condition, followed by the tissue type of the sample For example, AnoxRL_Lv is a liver sample, from an animal euthanized by ANOXIA and stored in RNAlater. The numbers marked on the sample name indicates xth animal per condition
