Comparison of expression profiles of the TG and DRG.

<p><b>A</b> Differences in the gene expression pattern of the TG and DRG. Of all the genes detected in the TG and DRG, 98.6% were similar (> 1 FPKM), 8113 genes were detected in neither the DRG nor the TG (< 1 FPKM), and 0.5% of the genes were TG- and 0.9% DRG-specific (> 1 FPKM). <b>B</b> FPKM distribution for both tissues is highly similar when plotting FPKM values against the number of detected genes. <b>C</b> The regression graph visualizes the correlation of the expression patterns for all detected transcripts in the TG and DRG. R²= 0.73.
