Fig. 4

Urethane treatment influences a female bias of CV. a, b Male and female gene expression CVs were plotted for saline (a) or urethane treated (b) mouse lung samples. Genes with CV higher in females than male in urethane treatment group (b female CV—male CV > 0.8) are defined and shown in red in b, and the same genes are plotted in red in all other figure panels. (c, d) A group of genes is influenced by urethane treatment in sexually biased manner. Male and female average expression values are plotted as scatter plot. Red filled circles are the female higher CV genes categorized in b. The data are from GEO (accession: GSE16510, [13])
