Fig. 7: Comparison of male and female gene expression in D. melanogaster.
From: Dynamics of sex-biased gene expression during development in the stick insect Timema californicum
a Gene expression(log2 CPM) in males and females at the larval (left), pupal (middle) and adult stage (right). The number of differentially expressed genes (SBG) is shown at bottom right corner of each plot, as well as the total number of expressed genes at each stage (T). Genes are classified based on their sex-bias into seven categories: “slight FB”- female bias (<2 FC), “strong FB”- female bias (>2 FC), “female limited”- with no expression in males, “slight MB”- male bias (<2 FC), “strong MB”- male bias (>2 FC), “male limited”- no expression in females, “Not DE”- not differentially expressed genes. b Venn-diagram of sex-biased genes in three developmental stages: larval (yellow), pupal (purple), and adult (green). The number of genes shared between all three stages was greater than expected by chance (observed overlap = 1226, expected overlap = 334.7), Exact test of multi set intersections: p value ≈ 0).
