Relative expression of selected N. flemingeri protein encoding-genes involved in germline development, oocyte differentiation (MTOC), late egg formation and maternal control. Left - Germline development: (A) Neurogenic delta, (B) Innexin-2, (C) Apoptosis regulator BAX. Center - Oocyte differentiation (MTOC): (C) Spire, (D) Bicaudal, (E) Cappuccino. Right - Late egg formation and maternal control: (G) Maternal protein tudor, (H) Maternal protein torso, (I) Lysosomal aspartic protease. For all protein-encoding genes, relative expression is given as RPKM (reads per kilobase per million mapped reads) averaged across six replicate females for each time point (Wk0–Wk7). Error bars are standard deviations of six biological replicates. “*” Indicates differential gene expression between the week sample and Wk0.
