The expression of representative DEGs for EI vs. F in gonads of ricefield eels during sexual change from female to late intersexual stages. Y-axis shows TPM values of genes inferred from the transcriptome data. X-axis shows symbols of genes, and Entrez (NCBI) IDs are 109963333 (cyp19a1a), 109,971,989 (wnt4a), 109,971,151 (fgf16), 109,951,921 (foxl2a), 109,968,475 (pgr), 109,973,650 (ghrb), 109,954,649 (apoeb), 109,967,173 (csl2), 109,973,198 (enpp2), 109,955,915 (mafbb), 109,962,336 (clu), 109,968,774 (igfbp5a), 109,956,374 (sgk1), 109,964,672 (mafba), 109,963,795 (inhbb), 109,951,032 (slc16a1a), 109,959,091 (emb), 109,951,177 (dzip1), 109,956,679 (fsta), and 109,973,748 (flot2). F: female; EI: early intersex; MI: mid-intersex; LI: late intersex. *up-regulated significantly as compared to that at the previous stage; ^#down-regulated significantly as compared to that at the previous stage
