A microarray analysis of sex- and gonad-biased gene expression in the zebrafish: Evidence for masculinization of the transcriptome

Table 1 Terms used to describe gene expression categories in this study

Term	Explanation
Male-enriched	Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the testes relative to the ovaries.
Female-enriched	Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the ovaries relative to the testes.
Testis-upregulated	Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the testes relative to the male body (from which the testes have been removed).
Ovary-upregulated	Genes demonstrating greater transcript abundance in the ovaries relative to the female body (from which the ovaries have been removed).

Terms used to describe relevant categories of gene expression. Statistically significant male- and female-enriched genes in our study correspond to differences between testis and ovary only.
