Sex-based differential expression of the lncRNA Rsx using different data subsets and expression quantification tools. Normalized expression count values and significance of sex-based differential expression is shown for three data subsets using two expression quantification tools. All data refer to the dataset considering all 15 RNA-seq samples (7 male and 8 female). Matched data include the tissues with both male and female RNA-seq samples (brain, kidney and lung), and the kidney data are reported independently. DeSeq2 reports significance as an associated p-value from the Wald test, while NOISeq reports a probability of differential expression threshold.

expression dataset	tool	female count	male count	significance
all data (n = 15)	DeSeq2	6987.1	16	p-value = 0.05
matched data (n = 6)	DeSeq2	6837.6	0	p-value = 2.04 × 10−30
matched data (n = 6)	NOISeq	7872.4	0.67	probability = 99.99%
kidney data (n = 2)	NOISeq	4074.4	0.68	probability = 99.99%
