Figure 5. Candiate genes with an expression pattern resembling DLK1.

Figure 5

Least square means and standard errors for log transcript abundance in 100 ng of total RNA in a hypertrophied muscle (semimembranosus, A, C, E, G) and a non-hypertrophied muscle (supraspinatus, B, D, F, H) in callipyge (+/C) and wild-type (+/+) lambs. Birth is day 0 and samples from 14 days prepartum are included and represented as -14 days. DLK1 expression is shown in A and B. Transcripts PDE4D (C and D), PARK7 (E and F) and BHLHB3 (G and H) show a significant effect of the callipyge genotype in semimembranosus, while no effect is observed in the supraspinatus. This pattern of expression suggests these genes are responding to DLK1 signaling in callipyge muscle.
