Identifying a developmental transition in honey bees using gene expression data
Fig 4
Individual genes associated with the bistability.
A handful of individual genes or gene products have a large proportion s of their variance along the bistable dimension. Here we highlight all genes with s > 2/3. Orange and purple colors correspond to bees on two sides of the bistability, with orange chosen to represent the low vg state that is indicative of foragers. In the column “up/down reg.”, we indicate whether the gene is up or down regulated in the orange state as compared to the purple state. Expression data for these genes are shown with the same colors for individual bees as in Fig 3, along with the marginalized fit distribution in blue (log-transformed data, with scale bar corresponding to an expression ratio of 10).
