Figure 7From: ZNF280BY and ZNF280AY: autosome derived Y-chromosome gene families in BovidaeExpression of ZNF280BY sense and antisense RNA at different developmental stages of testis. The relative expression levels of the ZNF280BY sense and antisense RNA at different ages of testis (X-axis), measured by the strand-specific qPCR, were normalized by the 18S rRNA (Y-axis). Values are means ± SD of triplicates. The expression of sense RNA increased gradually with age. In contrast, the ZNF280BY antisense RNA had a stable expression level except for a decrease in 3 month old testis. The significant expression difference was identified when p ≤ 0.05 by the ANOVA analysis and denoted by (a,b) where the gene expression at stages of (b) is significantly different from that at (a).Back to article page
