Figure 6. Comparison of the maternal transcriptomes of X. laevis and X. tropicalis.

Figure 6

a. For each of four functional gene sets, the plot compares the expression levels (log10 relative concentrations) in stage 2 embryos between the two species. b. Comparative gene expression profiles of four keratin genes. These genes are less than 80% identical at the protein level allowing good resolution by the microarray data. KRT24 in X. tropicalis exhibits two patterns depending upon the probes examined: one with maternal expression and another with a profile heterochronic to the X. laevis ortholog. c. Comparative gene expression profiles of four retinol dehydrogenases.
