Validation of twelve microarray differentially expressed genes by quantitative PCR.

<p>Fold change value is expressed as the expression ratio of Basque (B, n = 20) to Large White (LW, n = 20) samples when genes are highly expressed in Basque pigs and as the negative expression ratio of LW to B samples when genes are highly expressed in LW pigs. Statistical significances are reported below the plot as Benjamini and Hochberg adjusted P value for microarray data and as Student t-test P value for qPCR data (bold case). <i>ADAMTS8</i>, ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 8; <i>ANKRD1</i>, ankyrin repeat domain 1; <i>FABP3</i>, Fatty acid-binding protein, heart; <i>FHL3</i>, Four and a half LIM domains 3; <i>FOS</i>, FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog; <i>GLOD4</i>, glyoxalase domain containing 4; <i>HHATL</i>, hedgehog acyltransferase-like; <i>IGF1</i>, insulin-like growth factor 1; <i>LIPE</i>, lipase, hormone-sensitive; <i>PPARD</i>, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta; <i>SPARC</i>, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine; <i>ZNF24</i>, zinc finger protein 24.
