Figure 3

MA plot summarizing the expression divergence between parental layers and broilers of (A) male brain, and (B) female brain, and (C)male liver, and (D) female liver, and (E) male muscle, and (F) female muscle. LogFC indicates the fold change using logarithmic-transformed data. A positive logFC indicates that the layer parent has higher expression than the broiler parent, whereas negative values show that the broiler parent has higher expression than the layer parent. LogCPM represents the logarithmic foldness in counts per million. The blue horizontal lines indicate two-fold changes in expression, and red dots represent genes significantly up- or down-regulated.
