Figure 4: Sex differences of rat transcriptomic profiles.
From: A rat RNA-Seq transcriptomic BodyMap across 11 organs and 4 developmental stages
Gene expression values, expressed as log2FPKM, for male (y axis) and female (x axis) rats are depicted in the scatter plots. These plots show gene expression profiles between female and male rats in nine organs (a) and four developmental stages (b) using pooled data from either all four stages (a) or all organs for a given stage (b). Non-DEGs form the centre line (in grey), while DEGs are coloured and occur above and below the centre line. 002=2 weeks; 006=6 weeks; 021=21 weeks; 104=104 weeks. Organs tested are: Adr, adrenal; Brn, brain; Hrt, heart; Kdn, kidney; Lng, lung; Lvr, liver; Msc, skeletal muscle; Spl, spleen; and Thm, thymus.
