Fig. 1: Circos plot of eQTL, differentially expressed genes (DEG), and differentially methylated regions (DMR).

Chromosome length (Mb) and total eQTL per locus are on the outer track (range 0–550), mapping sites of all differentially methylated regions are in the middle track (range −0.44 to 0.72 male:female methylation; male upregulated in blue, female upregulated in magenta, and DMRs in putative gene promoters in gold), and mapping sites of all differentially expressed genes are in the inner track (range log₂ −10.3 to 14.4). Associations between gene expression and polymorphisms in the Z-SDR are shown in gray, while associations with the W-SDR are shown in aquamarine. The top ten predicted target sites for each miRNA are shown in purple. Scaffolds not assigned to a chromosome have been concatenated and labeled “Sc”
