Figure 1.
Evaluating ASE across tissues and environmental contexts. We partitioned ASE into its parent-of-origin and sequence effects, then compared ASE patterns across metabolic tissues, in response to dietary fat and between sexes. An example of parent-of-origin-dependent ASE is when the maternal allele (red) is preferentially expressed over the paternal allele (blue), regardless of which haplotype contributed it. An example of sequence-dependent ASE is when the LG/J allele is preferentially expressed over the SM/J allele, regardless of which parent contributed it.
