Correlation of expression of lncRNAs and protein-coding genes.  A Density plot of correlations of expression for differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) and differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) in the virgin alate and mated dealate samples respectively. The co-regulated DEL:DEG pairs have a highly correlated profile of expression (Spearman’s rho > 0.8, p-value < 0.01). (B) Proportions of different pairs of the co-regulated DEL:DEG in the virgin and mated groups
