Identification of Novel Long Noncoding RNAs and Their Role in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Figure 1

Hierarchical cluster of heatmaps for the differential expression of lncRNAs and mRNAs between the AAA and control groups. (a) Hierarchical cluster of heatmaps for the lncRNAs. (b) Hierarchical cluster of heatmaps for the mRNAs. Each column represents one sample and each row represents one mRNA or lncRNA. The relative expression levels of mRNAs and lncRNAs are depicted according to the color scale. Red indicates upregulation and green indicates downregulation. The three columns on the left represent the control samples and the five columns on the right represent the AAA samples. The differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs are clearly self-segregated into clusters. AAA: abdominal aortic aneurysm; lncRNAs: long noncoding RNAs.
