Figure 3.

Expression profile of splicing factors in placental and other human tissues. (a) Heat map showing the expression levels of 60 selected splicing factors across all 19 tissues. Scaled expression values are color-coded according to the legend in the top left corner. Clustering of genes and tissues are both generated by average linkage hierarchical clustering using 1-Pearson correlation coefficient as the distance metric. (b) Expression levels of 3 splicing factors differentially expressed between placental and other human tissues. Each bar labeled HBM2.0 (in blue) represents mean expression value of all 16 HBM2.0 tissues.
