Oscillations are found in multiple P. pacificus body regions. (A) The bar plots show the numbers of oscillating genes across the 11 P. pacificus regions (left) as defined by spatial transcriptomics, the mean expression level of oscillatory genes with regional expression (middle), and four different amplitude classes (right). (B) The plots show regional expression and phases of the top five overrepresented protein domains. Circles indicate the number of oscillatory genes with expression in a specific region (upper part) and their assignment into 12 phase classes (lower part). (C) The left heatmap presents the median z-score-normalized expression values of the 12 oscillatory regional collagens across the 11 regions. The heatmap on the right shows their changes in gene expression throughout the entire postembryonic development.
