FIG. 1.

Multidimensional plot of ovarian gene expression in Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁻ and Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁺ mice on 18 and 22 dpc. The blue and red circles enclosed in the rectangles highlight the overall similarity of gene expression in the individual ovaries of the four groups of Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁻ and Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁺ mice analyzed on 18 and 22 dpc as indicated. On 18 dpc Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁻ and Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁺ mice are pregnant. On 22 dpc the Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁺ mice are still pregnant but the Gα_q^f/f;Gα₁₁^−/−;Cre⁻ mice are 1–2 days postpartum.
