Gene expression level of the putative pigment cell specific clones was analyzed on hatched blastula cDNA of LiCl treated, normal and dnN-injected embryos using real-time QPCR. In parenthesis are indicated the number of cDNA clones identified for each gene, within the group of sequences that showed significant BLASTX matches (E-value≤1×10−4) in the nonredundant GenBank database.

na, not applicable.

*

Values are the differences between Ct for each clone and Ct for ubiquitin in different cDNA batches; Ct values were means of triplicate measurements.

Difference between column 3 and 2.

Difference between column 3 and 4. Values in bold are the differences between normalized Ct for normal and dnN-injected embryos that are significant(|Ct difference|≥1.6).
