Fig. 5: Gene Cluster Expression Summary Scoring (GCESS) analyses to identify like clusters in distinct gene expression databases.

Comparison of our identified clusters with those from several other mouse developmental or mouse and human retinoblastoma studies. A Clusters of genes identified in our RNA-Seq transcriptional data are displayed as heatmaps with yellow showing increased transcription and blue decreased transcript levels. B Gene expression pattern comparisons with a mouse retinal development timecourse (GSE87043). C A human retinoblastoma dataset (GSE29683)
-Y79 and Weri1 human retinoblastoma cell lines;
-human patient derived xenograft samples and D a mouse retinoblastoma dataset (GSE29685). Each of the five clusters identified by our RNA-seq analyses are marked with color coded sidebars to the right of the heatmap, and their identifiers are shown below.
-ΔRb/p107/p130-deficient murine tumors. Color-coded clusters in related cross-species databases denote shared genes at a highly significant level (p < 1e−5).
