Heatmap shows differentially expressed mRNAs in cataractous lens samples compared with transparent lens samples. Six separate microarray assays were performed to determine the genome-wide mRNA expression in the central epithelium of transparent and cataractous human lenses. Microarray data were processed by CapitalBio Corporation. Heatmap shows differentially expressed mRNAs in cataractous lens samples compared with transparent lens samples. Relative expression value from high to low was shown by gradient of red to green in the heatmap. Colors indicate relative mRNA expression. Red and green indicate higher or lower expression of mRNAs relative to those in transparent lens samples, respectively. FDR (false discovery rate) adjusted p-value <0.05
