The transcriptome analysis of gonadal somatic cells from undifferentiated gonads of each sex. A Principal component analysis (PCA) of the transcriptomes of left and right gonads from males and females. Note the transcriptome from left and right gonads in females diverged more than that in males. FL: female left, FR: female right, ML: male left, MR: male right. B The total number of expressed genes (TPM ≥ 1) were similar in different gonads. C Number of differentially expressed genes (DEG) between different gonads. D The chromosome location of DEGs. The upper panel shows the proportions of DEGs located on sex chromosomes or autosomes. The bottom panel shows the numbers of DEGs located on sex chromosomes or autosomes. The situs-specific DEGs are more likely to locate on autosomes while the sex-specific DEGs are more likely to locate on sex chromosomes
