Differentially expressed genes in oogenesis and spermatogenesis of E. ancora. a 2023 and 678 genes were differentially expressed during oogenesis and spermatogenesis, respectively, and 67 of those genes were differentially expressed in both oogenesis and spermatogenesis (q-value< 0.05, ANOVA). b Relative gene expression levels of differentially expressed genes (2023 genes) at different phases of ovaries. CPM values were scaled to row Z-scores for each of the genes. In premature/mature ovaries, 631 genes were expressed at higher levels than in the other 3 phases. Among the 631 genes, 446 genes (71%) matched the SWISS-PROT human database, as shown in the pie chart. c Relative gene expression levels of differentially expressed genes (678 genes) at different phase of testes. CPM values were scaled to row Z-scores for each of the genes. In mature testes, 538 genes were expressed more highly than in the other 3 phases. Among the 538 genes, 305 (57%) matched the SWISS-PROT human database, as shown in the pie chart. In the heatmaps, each row represents a differentially expressed gene and the columns represent time points. The color bar on the left indicates expression levels
