qRT-PCR validation of genes identified in the SRvsSS comparison obtained in the microarray analysis.
Validation of differences in the expression of genes between shock-resistant and shock-sensitive groups obtained in microarray experiments using qRT-PCR. (A) The increases and decreases in the expression of 14 genes identified using microarray analysis were validated with qRT-PCR. All fold-changes found with qRT-PCR were significantly different (p < 0.05). (B) Differences in gene expression between shock-resistant and shock-sensitive groups obtained using microarray analysis significantly correlated with qRT-PCR data. N = 6 per group.
