From: Are females more variable than males in gene expression? Meta-analysis of microarray datasets
Comparison of CVs between X and autosomal (A) genes in both sexes. a The percentages of male or female probes with specific CV values are graphed for CV values less than 1. b The curves from a are regraphed to allow direct comparison of A and X genes for male and female separately, to illustrate the similarity of the two sexes in both populations. In both human and mouse, the CVs for X genes are similar to those for A genes except for minor differences in the CV range 0.2–0.4. A total of 87 human and 190 mouse datasets were used in this analysis
