Tomato Gene Expression

This is a 3D sculpture of a Principal Component Analysis performed on the expression profiles of >20,000 genes from Solanum lycopersicum (domesticated tomato) and a desert relative, Solanum pennellii. Gene expression was sampled in the inflorescence, mature leaf, root, seedling, stem, and vegetative apex. This sculpture is derived from the PCs 1-3 (x, y, z), with each "rod" representing data from a single gene. Data used in this sculpture is derived from the linked publication (http://www.ncbi.n
