Relative gene expression results for OXTR when normalised with endogenous control genes of different stability in pregnant (A) and cycling (B) animals. These graphs show calculated relative expression values for OXTR when normalised to the most stable gene (SUZ12), two of the least stable genes (UXT and GAPDH), and to the two best genes according to GeNorm analysis (SUZ12 and ZNF131), with the latter using a normalisation factor calculated from the GeNorm analysis. (Pregnant = P, cycling = Cy, caruncular = a, intercaruncular = b, North American = NA, New Zealand = NZ)
