Mapping of reads to lactation-specific genes and fold changes in transcript expression for contigs after removal of lactation-specific genes based on RNA-seq analysis.

<p>(A) Left, number of reads mapping to individual genes coding for the 12 milk-specific proteins. Numbers above columns are the percent of total sample that mapped to the specific gene. Right, Sum of reads from all 12 milk-specific proteins. Number above columns are percent of total samples. (B) Relative expression of each contig with at least 50 mapped reads after removal of Illuminia reads for milk-specific contigs. (C) Contigs with significantly different expression values from B, Kal's test with Bonferroni correction, P<0.05.
