Note.—Inr/DPE, initiator followed by downstream promoter element; TATA/Inr, TATA box followed by initiator; Motif 1/6, Motif 1 followed by Motif 6; DRE, DNA replication element binding factor.

aA randomization test of goodness-of-fit was performed for each genomic feature; P ≥ χ2 with 3 degrees of freedom (100,000 simulations). Subsequently, the Benjamini–Hochberg (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995) correction for multiple testing was applied.

bHigher than a given percentile in at least one timepoint during embryogenesis (E), pupa stage (P), or both and, if it is the case, lower than a given percentile in at least one timepoint in at least two stages among larva (L), adult male (AM), and adult female (AF). Genes examined: with Inr only or Inr/DPE promoter types, 185; with TATA/Inr promoter type, 135; with Motif 1/6 promoter type, 101; and with DRE promoter type, 135.
