Validation of RNA-Sequencing results by quantitative RT-PCR. (A) Log2 fold change comparison of RNA-Seq (dark blue bars) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR, light blue bars) for five differentially expressed genes downregulated at D3 (LABLA, CSN2, CSN1S2, CSN1S1, SLC7A5; n = 12), five genes upregulated at D3 (MXRA5, SLC7A8, LBP, ANGPTL4, LOXL4; n = 12), and 3 genes with similar expression (CCL28, IGSF3, ZO;3, n = 12) when comparing D3 vs. D-3 relative to dry-off (D0, ~46 d relative to calving). (B) Correlation between RNA-Seq and RT-PCR gene expression (R2 = 0.96, p < 0.0001).
