Figure 2From: Selection of reference genes for quantitative RT-PCR studies in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks and determination of the expression profile of Bm86Ra86 and control gene expression during all life stages of R. appendiculatus. Ct values represent mean +/- SEM from three biological replicates. The Ct values of samples from adult females are indicated with an open symbol, Ct values from adult males with a closed symbol. Note that the y-axis differs in the two panels: highly expressed genes are shown in the top panel, moderately expressed genes in the bottom panel.Back to article page
