Fig. 4From: Sexual dimorphism and sex-biased gene expression in an egg parasitoid species, Anastatus disparisSex differences in longevity (a) and expression as determined from qRT-PCR of annotated potential genes encoding superoxide dismutase and vitellogenin (b). The expression of genes determined through qRT-PCR was calculated by the 2-ΔΔCt method using the housekeeping gene EF1A as a reference to eliminate sample-to-sample variation in the cDNA samplesBack to article page
