Terms used to describe gene expression categories in this study
Term | Explanation |
---|---|
Male-enriched | Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the testes relative to the ovaries. |
Female-enriched | Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the ovaries relative to the testes. |
Testis-upregulated | Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the testes relative to the male body (from which the testes have been removed). |
Ovary-upregulated | Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the ovaries relative to the female body (from which the ovaries have been removed). |
Terms used to describe relevant categories of gene expression. Statistically significant male- and female-enriched genes in our study correspond to differences between testis and ovary only.
