Differential gene expressions in sea lamprey liver at various metamorphic and life stages. Selected genes: bile salt export pump (bsep), sodium/bile acid co-transporter (slc10a1), hepatocyte growth factor (hgf), HGF receptor met, collagen col2a1, and collagen col4. a: significantly different from larval (L) group; b: significantly different from metamorphic stage 1 (M1); c: significantly different from M2; d: significantly different from M3; e: significantly different from M4; f: significantly different from M5; g: significantly different from M6; h: significantly different from M7; i: significantly different from newly transformed juvenile (JV); j: significantly different from pre-ovulatory female (POF); k: significantly different from pre-spermiating male (PSM) group; l: significantly different from ovulatory female (OF); m: significantly different from spermiating male (SM); *: significantly different from all other groups (ANOVA test followed by post hoc test, p < 0.05). A: adult; LP: large parasite; SP: small parasite. Number on each bar represents the number (n) of lamprey in each group
