Fig. 5. Overlap in the results using X. laevis and X. tropicalis RNA. (A) The overlap between the differentially expressed genes identified using X. tropicalis RNA and those identified using X. laevis RNA. Differentially expressed genes were selected from each set of experiments (Xt1–4, Xt5–8 and Xl1–4) by having at least a 2 fold mean difference in expression between the two stages. The overlap in genes that were selected as differentially expressed in both Xt1–4 and Xt5–8 was calculated. This represents the overlap between the two sets of experiments. The overlap across species, between Xl1–4 and Xt1–4, was then calculated. (B) The percent overlap between the differentially expressed genes identified using X. tropicalis RNA (xt1–4 vs xt5–8) and those identified using X. laevis RNA (average Xl1–4 vs Xt1–4 and Xl1–4 vs Xt5–8). The majority of genes were identified using X. laevis or X. tropicalis RNA but using X. laevis material added an extra 12% difference compared with 2 sets of X. tropicalis experiments.
