Supplemental Figure S1.
Principal Component Analysis on normalized gene expression counts. The x-axis in each plot reflects variance across Principal Component 1 (PC1), which explained 93.96% of the variance. The y-axis in each reflects Principal Component 2 (PC2), which explained 2.15% of the variance. (A) The PCA plot colored by treatment group: TR=transgenic, WT=wildtype, SF=spaceflight, and GC=ground control. (B) The same PCA plot colored by tissue type. Tissue type appears to account for the majority of the variance in the first principal component. (C) The PCA plot colored by spaceflight condition, which does not appear to explain the variance on these two PCs. (D) The PCA plot colored by genotype, which also does not appear to explain the variance on these two PCs.
