Figure 3

Relative target gene expression in different tissues for each data set. Relative expression distribution (box plots: for details see legend to Figure 1) of creb, dat and TH (set b, N = 15) and FoxP (set a, N = 10) in O. vulgaris mantle, supra-oesophageal mass (SEM), sub-oesophageal mass (SUB) and optic lobes (OL). M value (M) represents a measure of gene-stability and corresponds to the average pairwise variation of one selected reference gene compared to all the others. Relative gene expression (y-axis) was calculated using tubA and ubi as reference genes; see Methods for details.
