Pleiotropic effects of a single gene on skeletal development and sensory system patterning in sticklebacks

Table 2 Transgenic sticklebacks demonstrate that Eda expression affects both plate presence and neuromast distribution

Combined segment totals (average 25.5 segments per fish) for: ^atransgenic fish in PB background (n = 11 fish); ^buninjected control siblings in PB background (n = 13 fish); ^ctransgenic fish in PB x JP F3 background (n = 12 fish); and ^duninjected control siblings in PB x JP F3 background (n = 15 fish). JP, Japanese Pacific Ocean marine; PB, Paxton benthic; PB x JP F3, Paxton benthic x Japanese Pacific Ocean marine F3 hybrid.
