Fig. 6. Expression patterns of genes in four gene expression mountains. Hierarchical clustering was used to display the expression ratio of dauers to L1 worms at 0 hours and the expression ratios during the dauer exit and L1 starvation timecourses for genes in four mountains. (A) Mount 14, 353 genes. Blue bars highlight genes that are not induced late in the dauer exit timecourse. (B) Mount 15, 247 genes. (C) Mount 18, 190 genes. Blue bar highlights genes that do not have a dauer exit timecourse expression pattern that is similar to the L1 starvation timecourse expression pattern. (D) mount 29, 40 genes. Almost all genes in mount 29 are induced at the dauer-L4 (or L3-L4) molt. Rows represent different genes and columns represent different times during the timecourse, except the first column [which is the ratio of dauer to L1 at 0 hours (arrowhead)]. Green and red arrows are the dauer exit and L1 starvation timecourses, respectively. Scale shows level of expression.
