  1. aAmong genes upregulated by B73 alleles at cis eQTL, the percentage of reads that mapped to UTRs was significantly higher for reads derived from B73 alleles than for reads derived from Mo17 alleles. Wilcoxon signed rank test, V = 7,544,600, P < 2.2e-16
  2. bAmong genes upregulated by Mo17 alleles at cis eQTL, the proportion of reads that mapped to UTRs was also significantly higher for reads derived from B73 alleles than for reads derived from Mo17 alleles. Wilcoxon signed rank test, V = 1,324,300, P = 1.1e-8
  3. cThe percentage of all reads irregardless of allelic origin that mapped to UTRs was significantly higher for genes upregulated by B73 alleles than genes with upregulated by Mo17 alleles. Wilcoxon rank sum test, W = 25,439,952, P < 2.2e-16
