Figure Lengend Snippet: Spatial transcriptomic analysis revealing co-localization of ECMSig, hypoxia, Scissor-Positive cells, and pericytes in GBM (A) Spatial feature plots for four GBM samples. Each row represents a sample. Columns show spatial heatmaps of: ECMSig score, hypoxia signature score, tumor Scissor_Pos signature score, myeloid Scissor_Pos signature score, endothelial Scissor Pos signature score, and pericyte marker signature score. Color scale indicates scaled expression or score (low to high). Each dot represents a spatial barcoded spot.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Heatmap of DEG cluster analysis for DT and CK transcriptomes. The black dendrogram shows hierarchical clustering of samples and genes with similar expression patterns. The color scale represents normalized gene expression levels (yellow/orange = high expression, blue = low expression), demonstrating clear separation between CK and DT groups. (B) Volcano plot of differentially expressed genes. Orange dots indicate up-regulated genes (log 2 FC > 1, p < 0.05), blue dots indicate down-regulated genes (log 2 FC < −1, p < 0.05), and gray dots indicate non-significant genes.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) The abscissa indicates the selected DEGs related to drought stress in sugarcane, and the ordinate indicates the log 2 fold change of gene expression measured by RNA-seq (orange bars) and RT-qPCR (blue bars). The column height represents the differential expression multiple, and the smaller the height difference between orange and blue bars, the more consistent the expression trend between the two methods. (B) Correlation analysis of log 2 fold change values from RNA-seq ( x -axis) and RT-qPCR ( y -axis). Each blue square represents one DEG. The linear regression equation and R 2 value ( R 2 = 0.97581) indicate a high positive correlation between the two techniques, verifying the reliability of the transcriptome sequencing data.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Transcriptomic profiling of the pretreatment biopsy sample. RNA-seq was used to obtain gene expression profiles of tumor samples. A global embedding of cancer types was calculated by transforming these gene expression profiles using PCA, followed by a t-SNE transformation to obtain a 2-dimensional approximate “map” of transcriptional similarity. The new patient sample is projected onto a pre-calculated PCA embedding space based on historical samples analyzed at Caris. Its proximity to other samples on the map reflects shared transcriptional programs with these samples. Only the immediate neighborhoods of samples should be considered for further interpretation since t-SNE embeddings do not preserve similarity correlations over long distances. Each point on the t-SNE map represents a different sample. The target symbol represents the present patient’s pretreatment biopsy sample. PCA, principal component analysis; t-SNE, t-stochastic neighbor embedding.
