Differential gene expression patterns and correlations in the microarray and RNA-Seq analysis. a, b Hierarchically clustered genes (rows) and experimental samples (columns) with dendrograms and clusters from microarray (a) and RNA-Seq (b) data. Red in the heatmap indicates upregulation and blue denotes downregulation of gene expressions based on z-score. c Pearson’s correlation plot for 209 DEGs determined by microarray and RNA-Seq. Upregulation and downregulation patterns were 100% correlated in both platforms. Red open circle denotes upregulated genes in microarray and RNA-Seq, and blue open circle indicates downregulated genes in both platforms
