Figure 3. Chromosome 3 Peptidase Loci are not Co-expressed.
Twelve genes, including 11 peptidase genes are present in tandem on chromosome 3. (A) The protease motifs were identified and color coded based on the conservation level. (B) RT-PCR for each gene was normalized to C. parvum 18S rRNA and the median for four biological replicates for the 7 time point time course is shown. (C) The normalized expression was then averaged by each gene's total expression for all 7 time points.
