Figure 1

Heatmap of the Z-scores distributions of the RQC components calculated from the transcriptomes and proteomes of human tissue samples. Data obtained from Wang et al.51. White rectangles denote the absence of data. Each rectangle represents the expression of one of the RQC genes against the average expression of the whole transcriptome/proteome in a particular tissue. The heatmap analyses compare the expression of a single transcript (e.g., TCF25) against the average expression of the whole transcriptome in a particular tissue. The mRNA expressions of TCF25 in most samples are red colored because the mRNA expression of TCF25 is higher than the average total genome mRNA expression in the analyzed tissues.
