Cluster analysis of mental gland gene expression. (a) Cartoon of mental gland development for each of the six time points from which RNA was extracted for transcriptome sequencing. Mental glands were not observed in May, partially developed in June, and fully developed by early August. (b) Cladogram representing the ~ 55,000 “genes” organized into 6 clusters. Shades of grey represent log fold changes between time points. (c) Line graphs of cluster means vs time. (d) The six most abundant genes in each cluster (at the time point with the highest expression levels per cluster)
