Analysis of male reproductive biased genes in Stomoxys calcitrans. a Results of reciprocal BLAST analysis of male reproductive tract biased genes. b Expression analysis of top 20 most abundant gene classes in the male reproductive tract RNA-Seq dataset versus the female reproductive tract, as annotated by BLAST best hits. Bar length represents combined expression values in TPM for the genes included in that category. Numbers associated with the bars represent the number of genes in that functional classification that had a male reproductive tract-biased expression. c Scatter plot of the 763 Stomoxys male reproductive biased genes. The plot shows on the x-axis - log2 fold change expression in males relative to females and the y-axis represents the log2 transformed expression value in TPM in the male reproductive tissue. Triangular points are genes predicted to contain signal peptides and blue points are genes with orthology to seminal proteins in other species. Genes with a log2 expression value above 10 and log2 Male/female fold change value above 5 are annotated with putative functional descriptions
