Expression of calm paralogues during jaw outgrowth in medaka and halfbeak. (A-F) Expression of calm paralogues in (A-C) medaka and (D-F) halfbeak, including (A, D) calm1, (B, E) calm2, (C, F) calm3. Note, genes we denote medaka calm1, calm2 and calm3 have previously been denoted CaM-A, CaM-B and CaM-C, but we have re-named them due to the orthology relationships identified by our phylogenetic analysis. Relative expression values are scaled so that expression in the lower jaw of embryos = 1. Standard error is indicated. Two-way ANOVAs show a statistically significant difference in expression for calm1 in halfbeak (P < 0.001), but not medaka (P > 0.1). Neither calm2 nor calm3 show differential expression for halfbeak or medaka (P > 0.1) (see Table 1). RQ = relative quantitation.
