Figure 1: Stress-responsive ncRNA–mRNA sense–antisense pairs.
From: A global non-coding RNA system modulates fission yeast protein levels in response to stress
(a) Sense–antisense pairs involving ncRNAs that changed significantly in abundance during osmotic shock in the WT. Rows represent log2 transcript levels (mean of three biological replicates) plotted relative to t=0, clustered by Euclidean distance. Columns are ordered according to timepoint. Pairwise Pearson’s correlation was computed for each pair (right hand panel). (b) Similar to a, but for the atf21Δ strain. Pairs in Clusters 1, 2 are anti-correlated in expression and functionally enriched for CESR (green) and osmotic stress-specific protein coding transcripts (orange).
