Differential expression of CDS in male and female COTS tissues/organs. A PCA of global gene expression profiles for the eight different COTS tissues/organs. B PCAs for only aboral (top) and oral (bottom) tissues/organs. C Pairwise correlation of eight tissue/organ transcriptomes; female and male gonads and coelomocyte transcriptomes are distinct from all other tissues. Pink, tube feet; purple, sensory tentacles; green, radial nerve; turquoise, skin; brown, papulae; blue, spines; red, coelomocytes; yellow, gonads; circles, females; triangles, males. Depicted values illustrate the scaled (z-score) expression levels based on collapsed VST-normalised read counts
