Genome-wide distribution of mRNA decay rates at 27°C and 17°C. (A) Histogram to show the distribution of half-lives for 7,291 genes for which half-lives and transcription rates could be calculated. (B) Functional categories, based on GO terms, of the 5% of genes with fastest and slowest decay rates (shortest and longest half-lives), at both temperatures. (C) Pie charts to show the distribution of half-lives for all 7,291 genes, at 17°C and 27°C. (D) Pie charts to show the distributions of half-lives for genes encoding ribosomal proteins. (E) Pie charts to show the distributions of half-lives for genes annotated as encoding transcription factors. (F) Pie charts to show the distributions of half-lives for intron-less genes, at both temperatures. Data points are calculated from the mean values for each locus from three biological replicate determinations.
