Sex-specific chromatin states and gene expression in D. miranda. (A) Female (pink) and male (blue) expression of genes (measured as log2 FPKM) categorized in active chromatin in both sexes (states 1–3), active in one sex but not the other, or repressive chromatin in both sexes (states 5–7). (B) Chromatin states of genes in females (top) and males (bottom) that are expressed similarly in both sexes or expressed in a sex-specific manner. Expressed unbiased genes are those expressed (FPKM > 1, cutoff based on intergenic expression levels) in both sexes, with the ratio of expression between the two sexes <2. Sex-specific genes are those genes that are expressed in one sex (FPKM > 1) but not expressed in the other (FPKM < 1).
