^a Embryonal day 4/8.
^b Array and PCR values are given as log2 female/male ratio expression differences
^c ANXA1 (Annexin 1), TXN (Thioredoxin), ZO-2 and ZOV3 were randomly chosen as not differentially expressed Z-linked genes.
^d Two MHM transcripts are listed; RJA001B07 (spotted on the array) and AB046698 (GenBank).
^e No differential expression
^f Not spotted on the microarray.
^g Not available
