Autosomal X-retrotransposed genes compensate postmeiotic silencing. (A,B) Comparison of gene expression levels of X-linked parental genes (X) and X-retrotransposed genes (TG) in humans and mice, respectively. The central dot is the median, the boxes encompass 50% of the data points, and the error bars indicate 90% of data points. (*) p < 0.05; (**) p < 0.001, unpaired t-test.
