Differentially expressed genes between developmental stages 6 and 12, and 12 and 15 for ZZf and ZWf females generated from EdgeR’s “topTags” function.

Results are sorted by log-fold change, with a cut-off of 1 or -1 applied, and a P-value threshold of 0.01. For the stage 6 and 12 comparison, genes with positive log-fold changes are upregulated at stage 12, while for the stage 12 and 15 comparison, genes with a positive log-fold change are upregulated at stage 15. No genes were differentially expressed between stages 12 and 15 in ZZf females. (XLSX)
