Controls for RT- PCR studies examining the expression of CES genes in opossum. The data presents RT-PCR controls showing that there were no RT-PCR products produced in the absence of reverse transcriptase (figure S1) compared with the results repeated here showing the RT-PCR products were formed when the experiment was conducted in the presence of reverse transcriptase (figure S2).
