Additional file 1: of Analysis of a spatial gene expression database for sea anemone Nematostella vectensis during early development

MATLAB files of standardized gene expression profiles derived from stored in situ hybridizations. The profiles are provided both as separate numerical arrays in labeled .mat files and as a two-column array of cells in the file “allarrs.mat”. For the separate arrays, the labels are the filenames; for the array of cells, the labels are the character arrays in the first column. The labels include the gene name, the developmental stage and, if applicable, the sequence number. For example, the file “admp-relatedbla1.mat” contains the variable “profile”, which is a 1×100 numerical array from the first image during the blastula of admp-related. This numerical array is also located in the second column of the 252×2 cell array called “expressiondata” in the file “allarrs.mat”, behind character array “admp-relatedbla1” in the first column. (cle = cleavage, bla = blastula, ega = early gastrula, mga = mid gastrula, lga = late gastrula, epl = early planula, pla = planula, lpl = late planula). The cell array has been converted to comma separated table “expressiontable.txt”, to be processed outside MATLAB and in modified MATLAB releases. The text file has been produced with the script “exportexpression.m” and can be restored to cell array “expressiondata0” in file “allarrs0.mat” with the script “importexpression.m”. (RAR 230 kb)
