Clustering of microbially altered genes according to their responses during colonization of GF mice. For each LCM fraction, normalized gene expression values were analyzed for their changes over time during colonization. Those genes with significant changes between at least two time points were clustered into four different clusters solely according to their expression profile using a consensus-clustering approach. Besides their expression pattern, clusters of different tissue fractions are completely unrelated (for example, cluster 1 of ileum crypt or tip). Data show mean ± standard deviation. Numbers indicate how many genes are contained in the respective cluster. The noted function refers to the most abundant GO term associated with the clustered genes.
