Haplotype contrasts show signals of temporal expression clustering that differ between contrast types and between the sexes. The heatmap represents a hierarchical clustering of the transcriptome (n = 12,007 genes) that could be compared between the current study and that of Graveley et al. (2010). Sliding window analyses (A to P) represent the numbers of genes that are found in the top 500 DE gene lists, ranked by p-value. The rolling sum was collected over a window size of 50 genes. Female (green: A to H) and male (brown: I to P) analyses are shown. Contrasts are reported as follows: ΔmtDNA ‘haplotype’ (A, I), ΔmtDNA ‘species’ (B, J), Zim53-OreR (C, K), Zim53-siI (D, L), Zim53-sm21 (E, M), OreR-siI (F, N), OreR-sm21 (G, O), and siI-sm21 (H, P). Regions of interest are highlighted by GO: 1 – GO: 5 labels. Gene ontology analyses corresponding to these regions can be found in the Additional file 4: Table S4
