Coefficient of variation (CVE) of sea bream genes. Violin plots describing the distributions of CVE values calculated on sex-biased genes (a), sex-biased genes with a FC > 3 (b), and sex-biased genes conserved in the six species analysed in this study (c). CVE values across the different sets of S. aurata unbiased and sex-biased genes were estimated across different tissues and developmental stages. Asterisks indicate statistical significance between groups (pairwise Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test: ***p-value < 0.001; **p-value < 0.01; *p-value < 0.05). The black point indicates the median value
