Quantitative expression of the transcripts from the ASIP region in fawn-2/beige versus wild-type quails 15-days embryos (skin). Blue: wild-type embryos [n = 10, excepted for ASIP-tr2 (n = 6) and ASIP-tr3 (n = 8)]. Brown: embryos homozygous for the fawn-2/beige mutation (n = 9, except for ASIP-tr2 and ASIP-tr3 where n = 7). The abundance of transcripts is expressed in arbitrary units (AU), values are mean ± standard deviation. ***Significant difference with p value < 0.001. The different graphs represent the transcription from: a ITCH; b AHCY; c the ITCH-ASIP fused gene; d ASIP-tr2 and e ASIP-tr3 representing alternative transcripts from the ASIP and ITCH-ASIP fused genes; f overall amount of all ASIP-coding transcripts
