Figure 1

Graphical display of interaction vector. The upper panel shows the estimated splicing interaction vectors $\stackrel{\_}{\beta }$ of rat cerebellum tissues at postnatal days six, 12 and 22. The lower panel shows the splicing interaction vector $\stackrel{\_}{\beta }$ of rat cerebellum tissues at the age of 90 days, which is considered adult, as well as the splicing interaction vector $\stackrel{\_}{\beta }$ of rat cerebral tissue at the age of 90 days. Within an interaction degree, the sequence of coefficients is ordered from left to right as follows: e.g. for 2nd order interactions, 123, 124, 125,..., 345, where 1,...., 5 represent exons 12, 23B, 40, 41, and 42 in the rip3r1 gene, as described in [18].
