Figure 6. Expression patterns of genes in four mountains.

Hierarchical clustering was used to display the ratio of dauer to L1 at 0 hours and the expression ratios during the dauer exit and L1 starvation time courses for genes in four mountains. A) Mount 14, 353 genes. Blue bars highlight genes that are not induced late in the dauer exit time course. B) Mount 15, 247 genes. C) Mount 18, 190 genes. Blue bar highlights genes that do not have a dauer exit time course expression pattern that is similar to the L1 starvation time course expression pattern. D) mount 29, 40 genes. Almost all genes in mount 29 are induced at the dauer-L4 (or L3-L4) molt.

Rows represent different genes, and columns represent different times during the time course except the first column which is the ratio of dauer to L1 at 0 hours (arrowhead). Green and red arrows are the dauer exit and L1 starvation time courses, respectively. Scale shows level of expression. Full data for this figure are available at Supplemental Fig. [6].
