Fig. 4

Tau index of gene expression at three developmental stages in males (a) and females (b). Tau ranges from zero (similarly expressed during development) to one (gene expressed in only one stage). Three gene categories are depicted with different colors; female-biased in red, male-biased in blue, and un-biased in gray. Boxplots represent the median, lower and upper quartiles, and whiskers the minimum and maximum values (in the limit of 1.5× interquartile range). Adjusted p values of Wilcoxon rank sum tests are summarized above the box plots (***p < 0.001, *p < 0.05, p = 0.06).
