The expression of key genes involved in pigment synthesis progressively decreases during oocyte development in Xenopus tropicalis. A During oocyte development in WT and mitf−/− Xenopus tropicalis, the mRNA expression levels of genes associated with melanin synthesis pathways are shown as FPKM values. B, C During oocyte development in WT and mitf−/− Xenopus tropicalis, the mRNA expression levels of genes associated with carotenoid and pteridine synthesis pathways are shown as FPKM values. For the P values of the data in figures, please refer to Additional file 2: Table S3. The statistical tests are the Wald test and the Likelihood ratio test in Deseq2
