FIG 2.

The vlhA expression profile of M. gallisepticum extracted directly from tracheas of experimentally infected birds over the course of the 7-day infection as determined through RNA sequencing. Each data point represents an average RPKM value from the results determined for five animals (with the exception of the broth sample). Error bars show standard errors of the means (SEM). Key statistically significant changes between two time points are indicated by paired upper- and lowercase letters for the following genes: vlhA 3.03 (A/a and A′/a′) and vlhA 4.07.1/4.08 (B/b).
