Loss of Bbs8 induces a switch in RPE-specific gene expression from P11 to P29. (A) Venn diagram showing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) obtained via transcriptomic analysis. The number of specific and common DEGs and the orientation of expression are shown. DW, down-regulated; UP, up-regulated. (B) Pie charts depicting % up- or down-regulated genes for three different categories; fetal RPE-specific genes, adult RPE-specific genes and RPE signature genes. At P11 all categories have an increased down-regulation. At P29 fetal RPE-specific genes and RPE signature genes become up-regulated.
