Fig. 4From: Histology and transcriptomic analyses of barnacles with different base materials and habitats shed lights on the duplication and chemical diversification of barnacle cement proteinsmRNA expression level of CP homologs. The vertical dot plot presents the mRNA expression level of CP homologs in the base or the peduncle. The corresponding species of each CP homolog is indicated by different colors. Grouping of the attachment substratum refers to Table 1. The grey box plot and black box plot illustrate the 75th percentile, the median (50th percentile) and 25th percentile of the expression level (in TPM) of different CPs of calcified-based and membranous-based barnacles examined in this study, respectivelyBack to article page
