Additional file 6: Figure S1. of When the brain goes diving: transcriptome analysis reveals a reduced aerobic energy metabolism and increased stress proteins in the seal brain

Comparison of qRT-PCR and RNA-seq results. The changes in selected mRNA levels in visual cortices of the hooded seal and the ferret were estimated by qRT-PCR (black; n = 4) and RNA-seq (white). The mRNA levels of the genes S100B, Clu, SLC1A6 and GAPDH were evaluated. Both methods gave similar results. (PDF 22 kb)
