Figure 4.
Normalized and log-transformed RNA-seq read counts of autosomal, Z chromosomal, and W chromosomal DETEs across three different tissues in females versus males using the “random” (A) and “unique” (B) mapping approaches, respectively. Note that even in unique mode, some of the W-linked DETEs attracted male RNA-seq reads. This observation is consistent with some of the W-based TEs having highly similar copies elsewhere in the genome.
