  1. SDzbreed, GONAM is the standard deviation of breed z-scores in the male gonads, where the breed z-score is a standardized measure of the expression level in each breed; zsex, GONA is the sex z-score, a standardized measure of expression difference between sexes. A positive value indicates a male overexpression with respect to females.
