Fig. 4From: GECO: gene expression clustering optimization app for non-linear data visualization of patternsGene expression patterns during infection time course. UMAP generated plot of F. nucleatum infection at time points 0, 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hrs with the following settings: row normalization, removal of zeros, number of neighbors = 15, minimum distance = 0.10, distance metric = Cosine, minimum expression = 1. Data points (genes) colored by a type, b type with continuous color setting, and expression of enrichment in c 0 h and 48 h. d Selected genes of interest graphed using GECO. e Data points (genes) colored by expression of enrichment in 6 h with minimum expression = 150 and 1.5-fold cutoff filter (See Additional file 3: Fig. S2a for UMAPs of addition step-by-step changes in filtering). Small subset of remaining genes following filtering with 4 genes highlighted with a red dot (TWIST2, ICAM1, CXCL3, and NINJ1) that are enriched in 6 h and 2 h infection time points. f Correlation of F. nucleatum infection related genes displayed in a GECO generated clustermap. Dark teal boxes with an asterisk are significantly positively correlated in expression across all samples (ex: ICAM1 and CXCL3), whereas dark brown boxes with an asterisk are anti-correlating across all samples (ex: COL1A1 and SOD2). Previously published bulk RNA-seq of F. nucleatum infection time course [24] was used to generate UMAP clustering and this dataset (.csv file) is available in Additional file 5Back to article page
