Figure 4.

Representative mRNA transcripts specifically inducible or suppressible in FemZZs. Boxplots show median, upper, and lower quartiles, and the highest and lowest values of normalized mRNA expression in 29 gonadal tissue specimens (y-axis shows normalized RNA-seq counts per million mapped reads; cpm). A, B: Transcripts expressed more strongly in FemZZs than testes or ovaries with (A) or without (B) significant levels of expression in ZW-ovaries. CG: Transcripts expressed more weakly in FemZZs than testes or ovaries and involved in resistance to apoptosis (C), mitochondria formation (D), cumulus cell differentiation (E), and miscellaneous genes (F). Abbreviation: mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid.
