Clustering of differentially expressed genes of C. parasitica at different infection times. a Heatmap is used to cluster the FPKM values of DEGs. Genes or samples with similar expression patterns are grouped together. The color in each square of the heatmap reflects the values obtained after normalizing the expression data, typically ranging between −2 and 2. b Trend clustering of the expression levels of all DEGs resulted in 18 distinct expression patterns. In the graph, the blue lines represent the overall expression trend of each pattern
