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

Table 2.

Generalized linear regression (GLM) analysis of differential gene expression between collared flycatcher and pied flycatcher against the number of protein–protein interactions (PPIs), tissue specificity (τ), intra-species variation in gene expression (ϕ), the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous diversity (πNS) and divergence (dN/dS), and genomic differentiation between collared flycatcher and pied flycatcher (FST) as candidate explanatory variables separately for five different tissues

  • For each tissue, the t-statistic of the association and P-values are reported. Significant associations (P-value < 0.05) are highlighted in bold and underlined if significance was retained after Holm-Bonferroni correction.
