Sex-biased gene expression and sequence conservation in Atlantic and Pacific salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

Table 1 Sex-biased contigs in three populations of L. salmonis

L. salmonis populations	Unique contigs passing QC filter	Proportion sex-biased (%)	Male-biased contigs	Female-biased contigs	Proportion (%) of orphans

Orphans are contigs without annotation (BLASTx; e < 10^-10). The numbers listed in this table are representative of unique contigs (i.e. duplicate probes removed). Only unique contigs were considered for each category
