Fig. 3. Comparisons of relative expression levels of four genes possibly higher expressed in the pectoral fins of male silver eels between the "S-Female" (n = 7, four repeats) and "S-Male" (n = 5, four repeats) groups. (A) kera, (B) dcn, (C) cited1, (D) LOC104575574. The arp was a housekeeping gene, and two female samples (F1 and F2) were used as the internal control for calculating relative expression levels. The y-axis was in log2 scale. The "S-Female" meant the female silver eels, and the "S-Male" meant the male silver eels. The solid black line represented the median value, and the solid black circle represented the outliers. Asterisks indicated significant differences (**P <0.01, ***P <0.001) in relative expression levels between two groups.
