Sex z-scores across tissues. The sex z-score is a Bayesian standardized measure of expression difference between sexes (see methods). Each dot in top and middle figures corresponds to a different probeset. Top: Adenohypophysis (abscissa) vs. thyroid gland (ordinate) sex z-scores. Middle: Adenohypophysis (abscissa) vs. gonad (ordinate) sex z-scores; the encircled dots correspond to highly biased probesets in gonads that show no bias in adenohypophysis. Bottom: Dendrogram of the sex z-scores in different tissues corresponding to the 100 most sex biased probesets. The vertical scale is the distance between points, i.e., one minus the Pearson correlation.
