From: Uterine transcriptome analysis reveals mRNA expression changes associated with the ultrastructure differences of eggshell in young and aged laying hens

Fig. 4

Validation of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by RT-qPCR. a Fold change of transcriptome results for DEGs in aged hen group (72 wk. of age) relative to young hen group (42 wk. of age). b Relative mRNA expression of the DEGs. BF2, MHC class I antigen BF2; SLC9A9, solute carrier family 9 member A9; MHCIA6, major histocompatibility complex, class I, A6; YF5, MHC class I α-chain; VCAN, versican; CDH6, cadherin-6; OVAL, ovalbumin; PLCL1, phospholipase C like 1. Values are means and standard deviations represented by vertical bars and the values with asterisks mean significant difference between groups (P < 0.05)
