Figure 6

E3.25-HNCs are more developed than E3.25-LNCs. Violin plots of the distribution of the expression of (A) E3.25 HNC-h-DEGs and (B) E3.25 LNC-h-DEGs across different developmental stages. The mean and median are shown as red crosses and green squares, respectively. Pairwise scatter plots of (C) E3.25-LNC vs E3.25-HNC, (D) E3.5-PE vs E3.25-HNC, (E) E3.5-EPI vs E3.25-HNC, (F) E3.5-PE vs E3.25-LNC, (G) E3.5-EPI vs E3.25-LNC. The black lines are the boundaries of the 2-fold changes in gene expression levels between the paired samples. Transcripts up-regulated in ordinate samples compared with abscissa samples, are shown with red dots; those down-regulated, with green. The positions of some markers are shown as orange dots. The colour bar indicates the scattering density. Darker blue colour corresponds to higher scattering density. The transcript expression levels are log2 scaled. ρ is the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The E3.25 HNC-h-DEGs are over-imposed as yellow dots.
