Comparing organ development with transcriptomes
![]() |
Principal component analysis is a useful tool to compare transcriptome timeseries |
We show that comparing transcriptomes of different molar germs (lower/upper molar), different molar parts (buccal/lingual) and different species yield insights in the nature and abundance of cell populations throughout development. These are precious informations to understand how development results in different final morphologies and differs between species.
