Relative gene expression of TERT in untreated and UVB treated skin from X. hellerii, X. maculatus Sd, X. maculatus Sp, and an interspecies hybrid made by crossing parental X. maculatus Sp and X. helleri (Sp-Xh). Values were determined by qRT-PCR repeated with three technical repeats and two biological repeats.
| Species | normal skin | UV treated skin |
|---|---|---|
| X. hellerii | 1.0 | 2.7 ± 0.3 |
| X. maculatus Sd | 1.0 | 5.0 ± 0.3 |
| X. maculatus Sp | 1.0 | 7.2 ± 1.0 |
| Sp-Xh | 1.0 | 4.2 ± 0.9 |
