Crosstalk between leg- and sex-biased genes. a Comparison between sex-biased genes in the third legs and leg-biased genes in males. b Comparison between sex-biased genes in the third legs and leg-biased genes in females. c Comparison between sex-biased genes in the first legs and leg-biased genes in males. d Comparison between sex-biased genes in the first legs and leg-biased genes in females. Color code in a and b represents the same genes in these two panels, and color code in c and d represents the same genes in these two panels. Gens are based on sex-biased and leg-biased expression in males (log2FC > log2(1.5)): purple = female-biased and leg 3 biased; dark brown = sex unbiased and leg 3 biased; red = male-biased and leg 3 biased; light green = female-biased and leg unbiased; gray = sex unbiased and leg unbiased; dark green = male-biased and leg unbiased; blue = female-biased and leg 1 biased; light brown = sex unbiased and leg 1 biased; orange = male-biased and leg 1 biased. Filled circles indicate genes with padj < 0.05 in both conditions (sex- and leg-biased). Hollow circles indicate genes with padj > 0.05 in one or both conditions
