Supplemental Data

Segmental expression of defensin genes in the epididymis (Supplemental Figure 1) and epididymal-specific qualifiers (Supplemental Table 1).

Files in this Data Supplement:

• Supplemental Figure 1 - Segmental expression of defensin genes in the epididymis. Gene Ontology annotation was used to select defensin genes as described in the Materials and Methods. Relative gene expressions are displayed for 12 defensin genes represented by 13 qualifiers. The values are Z-scored normalized average intensity. The relative expression pattern of the 13 qualifiers occurs in three distinct groups. A) One group consists of Defb35, Defb15, Defb19, Defcr-rs1, Defb13, and Defcr-rs10; B) A second group consists of Defcr15; and C) A third group consists of Defb1 (two qualifiers), Defb2, Defb10, Defb9, and Defb11.
