Comparative transcriptomics of the squamate cerebellum. a Two-way hierarchical clustering heat map showing three clusters of genes (rows) that behave similarly (clusters 1 and 2) or differently (cluster 3) across ten selected squamate species (columns). Z-score colour intensities reflect scaled gene expression values, ranging from low (blue) to high (yellow), for 630 one-to-one orthologous genes identified in all species. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. b Pie charts showing the distribution of orthologous genes (in %) among all significantly enriched gene ontology terms for biological processes (hypergeometric test with a false discovery rate multiple-hypothesis correction, p-value < 0.01) in clusters identified in a. c Hierarchical clustering of pairwise Pearson’s correlation coefficients for 630 orthologous genes identified across all squamate species. Colour intensities of individual tiles in the heat map depict pairwise correlation coefficient values, ranging from low (blue) to high (yellow), between selected species with indicated locomotor mode (see colour code and symbols on the right). Numbers at nodes in the cluster dendrogram represent approximately unbiased p-values (in percentage) obtained by multiscale bootstrap resampling.
