Transcriptomic Analysis of Toxoplasma Development Reveals Many Novel Functions and Structures Specific to Sporozoites and Oocysts
Figure 2
Heatmap of the average normalized expression values (glog) of ribosomal and hypothetical genes in the top 30 genes with significantly changing expression levels, higher and lower, across all pair-wise comparisons of oocyst time points.
Expression values for tachyzoite and bradyzoite stages were included to highlight genes that appear to be oocyst-specific and those that resemble tachyzoites and/or bradyzoites in their transcript levels. The range of expression is represented by a color grade ranging from low (blue) to high (yellow).
