Figure 2. Degree of male expression bias versus distance from nearest chromatin entry site.

The degree of male expression (as measured by ) for each gene is plotted against the logarithmic distance to its nearest chromatin entry site. We recapitulate the previous observation of a significant positive correlation (purple line, ); however, after partitioning X-linked MBGs into testis-biased and non-testis-biased the relationship between male-bias magnitude and distance from the nearest CES becomes non-significnat for non-testis-biased X-linked MBGs (red dashed line, ) and testis-biased genes (blue dashed line, ).
