Figure 1

Schematic of differential coexpression. The left and right sides of the figure correspond to two hypothetical experimental conditions. A. Heatmap representation of expression levels of 20 genes in 10 samples per condition; lighter shades indicate higher relative expression. The correlations among some genes changes, eg genes 16-18. B. Correlation matrix heatmaps corresponding to the data in A. Light colors indicate higher correlations. The changes in the position and size of the 'blocks' of highly coexpressed genes changes between conditions. C. Coexpression networks generated by thresholding the correlations between each pair of genes, illustrating the concept of 'rewiring'.
