Validation of SupC- and retina-specific transcriptomes. A and B Treemaps illustrating gene ontology (GO) terms for biological processes. A SupCs are enriched in genes from three major functional categories with multiple subclasses: anatomical structure development, tube size regulation, and cytosolic initiation complex formation. Additional categories include (1) cell developmental processes, (2) multicellular organismal processes, (3) molting, (4) response to external stimuli, (5) small molecule metabolic processes, (6) cellular localization, (7) carbohydrate metabolic processes, (8) cellular processes, and (9) oxoacid metabolic processes. B The functional categories with multiple subclasses in the retina are transport regulation, export from cells, response to light stimulus, neuron system processes, cell–cell signaling, and cell junction organization. Other categories in this tissue include (1) cell communication, (2) cell localization, (3) cell signaling, (4) response to stimuli, (5) cellular lipid metabolic processes, (6) cell processes, (7) cell locomotion, (8)ell homeostatic processes, (9) rhodopsin metabolic processes, (10) multicellular organismal process, (11) biological regulation, (12) circadian rhythm, (13) rhythmic processes, (14) lipid metabolic process, (15) developmental processes and (16) organic hydroxy compound metabolic process
