Gene expression heatmap explorer

In this heatmap explorer, you can view all gene expression patterns and swarm properties in space and time. The following files are available for download:

Normalized log2 read counts, dynamic range, spatiotemporal score and rank of genes

Sample description

Sequence reads were mapped to the reference chromosomal genome (NZ_CP020102) and its associated natural plasmid pBS32 (NZ_CP020103). Reads mapped to functional genes (CDS, ncRNA, tmRNA, signal recognition particle RNA, and ribonuclease P RNA) were normalized and are displayed below. Raw sequence data and processed data can be downloaded from the GEO database (Accession number: GSE224332). As a main gene name, the corresponding gene name in SubtiWiki v.4 is displayed together with synonyms when applicable, otherwise the gene name according to the annotations of the reference genomes (NZ_CP020102 and NZ_CP020103) is used. The locus tag is also displayed as a unique identifier for genes.

Search/Filter Gene list

Use the input field to search for a specific gene or swarm property. Up to five genes can be displayed at a time. Remove genes by pressing the "x" next to their name featured below.
