Fig. 7. Cluster analysis of expression profiles reveals the most predominant
expression patterns as well as significant associations of gene annotations.
(A) Means of the 20 largest of 106 total clusters are presented (including 79%
of 3157 genes with P<0.001 in either within-series ANOVA).
Clusters are numbered according to size (number of member genes in brackets)
and arranged so that similar patterns are near each other. Axis labels are
included for cluster 1 and are the same throughout. Line width reflects
relative cluster size on a log scale. Bars reflect 1 s.d. among the members of
the cluster. (B) Significant enrichments and depletions of gene annotations in
expression clusters determined by a hypergeometric probability analysis
(P<0.001). Coordinates for the clusters corresponding to A are
given (row, column). Functional categories are from Worm Proteome Database (4
March 2002) (Costanzo, 2001). Abbreviations correspond to RNAi phenotypes from
WormBase (Mei, defective meiosis; Led, late embryo defect; Bmd, body
morphology defective).
