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

Table 4.

Association between differential gene expression (log2-fold changes between collared flycatcher and pied flycatcher) and ASE in either F1 hybrids, collared flycatcher, or pied flycatcher across the five tissues for genes located on autosomes

Tissue F1 hybrids Collared flycatcher Pied flycatcher
Brain 8.96 × 10−1 5.78 × 10−2 4.78 × 10−2 a
Heart 8.32 × 10−1 1.07 × 10−1 9.55 × 10−1

  • The table reports P-values based on a Mann–Whitney Utest between log2-fold changes for ASE genes and non-ASE genes. Significant associations (P-value < 0.05) are highlighted in bold.

  • aThe association showed higher log2-fold changes for non-ASE genes than for ASE genes and is of the opposite direction than significant associations highlighted in bold.
