Tissue specific lincRNA expression analysis. (A) LincRNAs tend to be far more tissue-specific than mRNAs by measuring tau score. Dashed line stands for the median tau score. The higher the tau score, the higher the expression level. The black solid line stands for tau score 0.8 and tau score larger than 0.8 was considered as tissue-specific genes. (B) Number of total lincRNA, lncNAT and mRNA genes expressed in each tissue (fruits from different time points were combined). (C–E) Heatmaps of tissue specific expressed mRNAs, lincRNAs and lncNATs. Red color means high and blue means low expression level.
