Sex-specific amplification of alternative transcripts from nine genes that showed significant sex by probe interaction in the microarray data (unc-13, mud, jupiter, r, aret, CG4662, CG10899, garz, Akap200; see Table 3). The graph shows the average CTs for each exon junction in males and females of the OregonR line. CT values were calculated by performing qPCR with SYBR^® Green I dye chemistry on three bioreplicates consisting of four virgin males and females, and correspond to the number of cycles when the fluorescence intensity was significantly above background during the exponential phase of amplification; dark blue, male transcript 1; light blue, male transcript 2; green, male transcript 3; red, female transcript 1; pink, female transcript 2; orange, female transcript 3.
