Because these populations are in relatively pristine habitats, these ecologically based gene expression differences provide a reference for published and future studies of sockeye salmon in habitats more impacted by human activities [ 17, 36, 37] Riverine sockeye have a deep, robust body compared with the lake-type life history [ 27].
Our failure to identify a good marker of oncocytoma is not surprising, as marker selection was based on gene expression differences between ccRCC and chRCC only and the genetic profiles of oncocytoma and chRCC appear to be remarkably similar[ 64].
Based on gene expression differences between workers and queens, nurses and foragers, and expression in the HP gland, we identified 146 TRGs (orphans or genes found only in the Hymenoptera) that are candidates for playing a role in eusocial evolution [Additional file 6: Supplemental Table S6].
In this example, we did not limit our search based on fold change or q value, and chose the default options for the layout of the results page (display expression differences as fold change rather than log2 of fold change, and ordered genes based on significance of gene expression differences (q value) rather than gene symbol).
Albeit phylogenetically distant [ 18], Alentejana and Barrosã breeds are, nevertheless, more genetically similar than the breeds used in previous studies addressing adipogenic gene expression differences, mainly based on the Japanese Black genotype [ 20- 22].
Gene expression differences were displayed in a two-dimensional heatmap false colored based on transcript expression levels.

Before transcriptional differences occur, remobilization of nitrogen from stores is expected, which may not require major gene expression differences.
Genes were ranked based on gene expression level difference.
