Male and female transcriptome profiles diverge early. A Experimental design with number of replicates per condition. B Log2 fold changes per gene of the entire detectable transcriptome are plotted against the normalised average read count per gene (log10). The comparison of female (ZW) versus male (ZZ) gonads is shown. Genes displaying a significantly different expression (adjusted p-value < 0.05) are coloured green if higher expressed in females or orange if higher expressed in males. FC: fold change. C Venn diagram showing the overlap of DEGs in female and male gonads between three stages. See Table S2 column J for respective gene lists. D Number of DEGs (adjusted p-value < 0.05) with a female bias (ZW, green) or male bias (ZZ, orange) in gonads at three developmental stages and in adults. See Table S2 column I for respective gene lists. E The normalised read count of the top 300 genes (lowest adjusted p-value) for all samples (columns) is presented as a heatmap. All values per gene (each row) were scaled between 0 and 1. Rows (genes) were clustered by the Ward variance minimization algorithm. The resulting dendrogram is shown on the left
