FIGURE 5.
Validation of the expression profiles of 12 DEGs identified in the hepatopancreas tissue of M. nipponense using qPCR. Log-fold changes are expressed as the ratio of gene expression after normalization to β-actin expression levels. Data are shown as mean ± SE (standard error) of tissues in three separate individuals. *indicates significant difference (p < 0.05), ∗∗indicates extremely significant difference (p < 0.01).
