Extended Data Fig. 6: Identification of meiosis-specific genes.

Previously published meiosis and DNA repair genes⁸ were examined for their female-specific expression, as expression during other stages would indicate that they are not specific for meiosis. Eight genes were identified as female-specific from the previous list and were designated as meiosis genes. Further examination of female-specific genes (Supplementary Table 9) revealed three additional meiosis genes not included in the previously published list. UMAPs show their normalized expression levels in blue.
