Figure 2

Sex biased expression of sexually dimorphic genes defined in eight-cell embryos across pre-implantation development, fetal and adult tissues. Sex-biased expression is represented as log fold change (male/female). Box plots represent mean with interquartile range. Whiskers are defined by extremes within 1.5X the interquartile range and additional points outside this range are shown as circles. (A) X-linked genes (red). Data for the placenta is restricted to 45/51 transcripts for which data was available (B) Autosomal genes (green) more expressed in male embryos. Data for the placenta is restricted to 7/8 transcripts for which data was available (C) Autosomal genes (green) more expressed in female embryos. Data for the placenta is restricted to 6/7 transcripts for which data was available.
