Figure 8 Intrinsic and sperm-enriched genes are excluded from the X chromosome

 

The number of germline-enriched genes expected to be on each chromosome, given the number of genes per chromosome on the array, was determined for oocyte-enriched, sperm-enriched and germline-intrinsic genes. The ratio of observed to expected genes for each class of genes was plotted for each chromosome.

 

 

The number of genes in each category for each chromosome is as follows:

 

chrom.
total genes
genes on array
fraction of chrom
fraction of array

sperm enriched

oocyte enriched

germ line intrinsic
observed
expected
