Functional annotation of genes deregulated in trx mutants. (a) Classification of the microarray gene set, the deregulated genes and the genes that constitute the clusters according to the GO category 'molecular function', level 3. (b) Genomic map of clusters of functionally related genes. Clusters of genes annotated as structural constituents of cuticle (displayed as blue stars) and clusters of genes annotated as chitin binding (displayed as purple circles). Clusters of co-regulated genes in the trx mutant are indicated with a triangle in red or green according to their expression. Notice that most functional clusters match regulatory clusters despite the fact that both approaches are completely different.
