Nine DEGs were selected from the significantly enriched KEGG pathways to verify the RNA-seq results by qPCR. We also analyzed the expression profiles of these nine genes in five ovarian maturation stages.

The EIF gene of M. nipponense was used as an internal control gene [21 (link)] and the qPCR reaction system and procedures were consistent with our previous study [22 (link)]. Expression levels were calculated by the 2− ΔΔCT method [23 (link)] and the data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and two-tailed Student’s t-test in SPSS 23.0. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation and differences were significant at P < 0.05.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
