Genes with sexually dimorphic expression. MA plot of differentially expressed genes in brain (a), antenna (b), abdominal tip (c), foreleg (d), midleg (e) and hindleg (f). Genes were identified as significantly regulated within a single tissue using DESeq2 (α < 0.01). Venn diagram of genes that are dimorphic (with a fold-change of at least 8 and an FDR of α < 0.01) in abdominal tip, brain, antenna or any of the three leg tissues in female (g) or male (h). Transcript abundance of genes, that are female-enriched (i) or male-enriched (j) across 3 or more tissues (grey areas of Venn diagrams), sorted by mean abundance in females in descending order (i) or males in ascending order (j)
