Figure S4. Enrichment of small intestinal signature in Caco-2 cells upon differentiation. Heatmap representing enrichment scores obtained by gene set enrichment analysis of the selected panel of gene sets. Genes in the various cell lines were ranked according to their relative average expression (n = 2-3) in the given cell line compared to a panel of healthy epithelial tissues.
