Fig 2. Increased TE expression in the dysgenic germline persists through adulthood.
(A) RPKM+0.01 (log 10, average across both ages) for TEs, Dysgenic vs. Non-dysgenic germline. TEs that are in excess in 160 are more highly expressed, as well as many TEs that are not in excess. (B) Fold excess in expression (RPKM+0.01, log 2, average across both ages) vs. fold excess in abundance in strain 160. Nearly all TEs that are in excess in 160 show increased expression in the dysgenic germline (11/12). But multiple TEs that are equivalent in abundance between strains are also increased in expression. (C,D) Increased expression in the dysgenic germline is maintained as flies age. Note: Log scale obscures magnitude of difference for some TEs that demonstrate significant differences in expression identified due to low variation across replicates.
