Sex-biased gene expression in alligator embryos. (A) Mean expression versus fold-change for all genes in three tissues at two developmental time points. Genes found to have female-biased expression and male-biased expression are colored in red and blue, respectively. Numbers of sex-biased genes for each tissue and time point are given in the upper right of each plot. (B) Gonadal expression of genes of interest at the 30-d time point in eight embryos. The embryo from clutch 13 incubated at MPT displays a distinctly female expression pattern despite being incubated at MPT and was thus excluded from further analyses.
