  1. A: Tissues analysed using Illumina 6v1.1 platform.
  2. B: Tissues analysed using Affymetrix M430v2.0 platform.
  3. # Arrays: Number of arrays used for each tissue and sex.
  4. # Genes: Number of significant sex-biased genes in each tissue and sex. Selection criteria: Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney test followed by Benjamini-Hochberg (B-H) correction for multiple testing. B-H adjusted threshold p ≤ 0.05. Unannotaded probes and gene-probe redundancies are not included in these numbers; Additional file 1 includes all significant probes and raw p-values.
  5. # Genes on Sex Chr: Observed number of genes on the sex chromosomes and expected numbers when "# Genes Total" are drawn from the array. Asterisks denote that X- and Y-linkage is statistically overrepresented among sex-biased genes according to Fisher's exact test. p-values: * ≤ 1E-3, ** ≤ 1E-10, *** ≤ 1E-15.
