Hierarchical clustering of Ascaris lumbricoides transcriptome profiles to discrete tissue samples. Male tissue samples include Tg: the germinal zone of the testis; Tv: testis, part of vas deferens; Sv: seminal vesicle; Stm: male somatic tissue. Female tissue samples include Og: the germinal zone of the ovary; Ov: ovary, part of oviduct; Ut: uterus; Stf: female somatic tissue. Data from three biological replicates were combined prior to clustering. Only a few DEG examples were presented in the right box, which revealed DEGs preferentially expressed in particular tissues. Tissue-specific clusters are labeled A–G on the left and were used for subsequent tissue-specific functional analysis. The number indicates the normalized expression and ranges from white (no expression) to red (extremely high expression). Additional file 8: Table S5 shows a list of all genes, but only those that are expressed in at least one tissue
