Gene expression analysis to determine sex- and developmental-specific gene sets in S. bullata. A) Multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS) showing clustering of sex and developmental stages. The MDS was performed on count data in EdgeR (Robinson et al. 2010). B-E) Venn diagrams categorizing differentially expressed genes in sex-specific gene sets displaying B) male-specific gene expression, C) female-specific gene expression, D) male carcass-specific gene expression, and E) female carcass-specific gene expression.
