Identification of highly expressed genes in samples B and D by plotting the log ₂ -scaled gene expression values against the gene loci through the genome. (A) Plot of gene expression level (log₂(RPKM)) against the gene locus through the genome in sample B (at 4.5 h). (B) Plot of gene expression level (log₂(RPKM)) against the gene locus through the genome in sample D (at 14 h). The highly expressed genes involved in the main metabolic pathways during the fermentation were labeled with larger triangles.
