Transcriptome of the Deep-Sea Black Scabbardfish, Aphanopus carbo (Perciformes: Trichiuridae): Tissue-Specific Expression Patterns and Candidate Genes Associated to Depth Adaptation

Figure 3

Comparative plots of relative expression as contig frequencies versus mean qPCR values for all genes selected for this study. Codes for each of the gene are listed in Table 1, S = spleen, B = brain, H = heart, G = gonad, L = liver, and M = muscle; the correlation coefficient (Pearson’s ) resulted to be highly significant () for most of the genes except for and °not significant.
