Endometriosis Gene Expression Heterogeneity and Biosignature: A Phylogenetic Analysis

Figure 5

Gene linkage map of the genes at the lower clade (see Figure 1(a)) composed of seven endometrial eutopic specimens (GSM175776–82) constructed by Genomatix BiblioSphere set at the B0 filter level. The overexpressed genes coded in red, underexpressed in yellow, and unchanged in green were all combined and filtered at the B0 filter level. The color coding reflects the gene expression heterogeneity among specimens and the power of parsimony phylogenetics to reveal the dynamic disease process. The biosignature is centered on CNR2 and CASP3 as the potential major players influencing the gene network.
