Sex Differences in Correlation with Gene Expression Levels between Ifi200 Family Genes and Four Sets of Immune Disease-Relevant Genes

Figure 1

Information of expression levels of Ifi200 genes in female and male mice among mouse strains. (a) Expression level of Ifi202b between female and male in different mouse strains. The numbers on the vertical bar indicate the relative scale of the gene expression level. On horizontal bar are the names of mouse strains. Strains with most sex difference are indicated by black bars. (b) Locations of eQTL that regulate the expression levels of genes of Ifi200. The figure contains four groups of pictures based on four Ifi200 genes (Ifi2002b, Ifi203, Ifi204, and Ifi205). On the left of each group of pictures is the LRS (likelihood ratio statistic), which measures the association of linkage between the expression levels of Ifi200 family genes and particular genotype markers on mouse chromosomes. Gene names and sex are listed at the bottom and top of each picture, respectively. The number of each column of mapping picture is the number of chromosome where the eQTL is located. The two bars, the pink and grey ones, are the threshold levels for significant and suggestive levels of an eQTL.
