Tissue-specific patterns of regulatory changes underlying gene expression differences among Ficedula flycatchers and their naturally occurring F1 hybrids

Table 1.

Numbers of differentially expressed (DE) genes and nondifferentially (nDE) expressed genes between collared flycatcher and pied flycatcher in five different tissues, separately for autosomes and the Z Chromosome

Autosomes Z Chromosome
Tissue DE nDE DE nDE P-value
Brain 41 12,427 11 531 1.0 × 10−7
Heart 127 10,832 14 463 4.0 × 10−4
Kidney 448 11,412 37 483 7.3 × 10−5
Liver 269 11,251 17 487 4.8 × 10−2
Testis 908 11,180 57 471 2.1 × 10−3

  • Only genes that could be assigned a chromosomal location and showed significant expression in the respective tissue are included in the list. Differences in the distribution of DE and nDE genes between autosomes and the Z Chromosome were assessed by a hypergeometric test. Significant differences (P-value < 0.05) are highlighted in bold and underlined if significance was retained after Holm-Bonferroni correction.
