Gene expression analysis comparing samples from day 6-12, the ‘continuous’ model. a. Mann-Whitney U test was used to identify Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment in competency specific genes. Tan and cyan text corresponds to up- and down- regulated GO categories associated with ‘molecular function’. The size of the font indicates the level of significance, noted in the inset. b & c. Correlations between gene expression z-scores from this dataset compared with z-scores from Meyer et al. [35] gene expression responses to a natural cue (CCA) (b) and an artificial cue (GLW-amide) (c). Randomized competence values show no correlation with gene expression responses to CCA (d)
