Listed are the top-scoring gene groups with sign imbalance in cis-regulatory variation. Results for all groups are given in Table S8.

*Directional differential expression statistic measuring the imbalance in the signs of cis-regulatory variants within gene groups, defined as the sum of the directional scores of the group members (1 for a gene significantly up-regulated in S. bayanus for both biological replicates, −1 for a gene significantly up-regulated in S. cerevisiae, and 0 otherwise).

Total number of genes in each group for which a directional score was available.

Resampling-based P value assessing the significance of directional cis-regulatory expression variation in each group.
