Fig 2. Steady-state expression levels of putative piRNA pathway genes in early Rhodnius oogenesis.

Fig 2

A) Box plot showing the highly expressed putative orthologs of the fruit fly uap56 and hsp83 genes in Rhodnius. B) Box plot displaying 14 genes with intermediate expression levels in Rhodnius oogenesis. C) Box plots showing 15 genes, including putative orthologs of spn-E and Rp-piwi1, characterized by low expression levels in Rhodnius. In the panels A-C, Y-axis represents average RPKM values over two biological replicates. D) RNAseq profiles along the Rp-vas, Rp-piwi1, Rp-piwi2, Rp-piwi3 and Rp-ago3 genes. The Y-axis displays RPKM for two biological replicates (dark and light blue). Red line indicates the position of a mariner-like element in the Rp-vas gene. PVG stands for previtellogenic.
