Table 2. Dosage compensation of X chromosome genes in L. cuprina .

Gene Relative Expression Male:Female ± SEM a p-value M/F ratio ≠ 1 b
Lcaru c 1.179 ± 0.067 0.116
LcCG1970 0.967 ± 0.060 0.799
LcEph 0.975 ± 0.058 0.866

a. Mean of 3 independent experiments. Expression was normalized to the 28S rRNA reference gene.

b. Student's t-tests were performed for each gene separately

c. With the exception of Lcaru, all genes are orthologs of genes located on the fourth chromosome in D. melanogaster. The D. melanogaster aru gene is located on chromosome 2.
