Table 2.

Extent of sex-bias in three L. salmonis populations using consensus sex-biased transcripts (Additional file 2)

Sex-bias	Population	Proportion (%)
		Low fold change (≥1.5 but < 4)	High fold change (≥4 fold)
MALE	BMA2a	51.5	48.5
	BMA2b	55.3	44.7
	Pacific	37.7	62.3
	Mean FC	49.9	50.1
FEMALE	BMA2a	85.5	14.5
	BMA2b	98.5	1.5
	Pacific	77.3	22.7
	Mean FC	84.8	15.2

Mean fold change (FC) was calculated for each transcript using the average fold change across the three populations
