Fig. 5

Effect of fin regeneration on telomere length (TL) in GH-transgenic and wild-type coho salmon. The graph shows individual data values as well as summary statistics (mean: horizontal line, SE: vertical line) of the difference in telomere length between the two simultaneously sampled pelvic fins of each fish, one previously unclipped and one regenerated (see also Fig. 1, comparison 2). A positive value indicates longer telomeres in the regenerated fin. Sample sizes were 22 (transgenic) and 15 fish (wild-type), respectively
