Microarray signature. Gene expression profiles in the three thermal regimes. (a) Expression ratio versus fluorescence intensity of the 316,229 spots (black dots) from the 4,651 clones approved for statistical analyses. The averages for those probes identified as differentially expressed when contrasting the two extreme thermal regimes (i.e.,13°C vs. 22°C) are in blue (P13), green (P18) and red (P22). (b) Box-plots of the average expression ratios for the differentially expressed genes.
