Fig. 2 in Transcriptome-wide study in the green microalga Messastrum gracile SE-MC4 identifies prominent roles of photosynthetic integral membrane protein genes during exponential growth stage

Fig. 2. Transcriptome expression analysis during different growth stages. (a) Venn diagram for specific treatment genes. Venn diagram constructed based on subset between gene pools in the early exponential and early stationary growth phases of M. gracile SEMC4 cultures. The total number of early exponential growth-specific (EEG-specific) genes (blue subset); early stationary growth-specific (ESG-specific) genes (pink sub set) and regulatory genes (purple sub set) are as indicated. (b) Soft clustering based on time series analysis on expression changes between early exponential growth and early stationary growth phases of M. gracile SE-MC4 cultures. R1, R2 and R3 are the biological replicates of each early exponential (day 1) and early stationary (day 12) growth phase of M. gracile SE-MC4 cultures.
