RPKM and qPCR abundance estimates of teratocyte transcripts.
The same genes examined in Fig. 2 were analyzed at 1, 3 and 5 days post-parasitism. The left vertical axis shows RPKM values (Red) while the right vertical axis shows relative expression levels (Dark Blue) as measured by qPCR. The different colored backgrounds for each graph indicate the functional category a given gene was assigned to by KEGG or IIID analysis. Pink = nutrient metabolism; yellow = developmental regulation; blue = immune regulation; and grey = cellular structure. Error values for RPKM and qPCR data at each sample time indicate standard errors (SE).
