Fig. 2. RT-PCR analysis of the
gar-3 splice variants. RT-PCR was performed using the stage-specific RNA as a template. The PCR products were analyzed on a 1.2% agarose gel. The expected sizes of the PCR products for
gar-3a and
gar-3b are 825 and 747 bp, respectively. E, embryo; L1-L4, first to fourth larval stages; and A, young adult.
