Figure 2: Gene expression in four developmental stages of S. commune.

(a,b) The cutoff for expression is 4 tags per million (TPM). Venn diagrams show the overlap of genes expressed in the sense (a) and antisense (b) directions in the four developmental stages. For example, a shows that 61 genes are expressed in the sense direction in stage I and stage II, 4,859 genes are expressed in the sense direction in all stages, 132 genes are expressed in the sense direction in the monokaryon and mature fruiting bodies, and 5,308 genes are not expressed in the sense direction in any of the stages. (c) Venn diagrams of the overlap in genes that show sense and antisense expression in each developmental stage, and in all stages combined. (d) Heat map of expression of the S. commune genes in the four developmental stages. The bar at the top of the panel represents expression values between 0 and 300 TPM. Genes with expression values >300 TPM are also indicated in red. The bar on the right indicates a cluster of 366 highly expressed and differentially regulated genes. Annotation information for the genes in this cluster is given in Supplementary Table 18.
