Figure 5From: Small non-coding RNA profiling and the role of piRNA pathway genes in the protection of chicken primordial germ cellsEffects of CIWI and CILI knockdown on the expression of piRNA-linked genes. Effects of chicken piRNA pathway genes CIWI and CILI knockdown on the expression of six putative piRNA-linked genes including CR1, RAP2B, LRP8, VDR, ZNF302, and RGN using qPCR. The relative expression of all genes was normalized against that of GAPDH. Bars indicate the SEM of triplicate analyses. *P < 0.05 vs. control, **P < 0.01 vs. control, and ***P < 0.001 vs. control.Back to article page
