Tissue specificity of misexpressed genes. For each tissue (head, brain, crop, midgut, hindgut, Malpighian tubule, ovary, testes, accessory gland, larval Malpighian tubule, larval fat body, thoracico-abdominal ganglia, and thoracic and abdominal carcass), a list of genes enriched in that tissue was compiled based on the FlyAtlas data set (see methods). These lists were then compared to the lists of misexpressed genes in sticky and dFmr1 mutants at q<.01 and q<.001. Each column represents the percent of all misexpressed genes in a given list that were enriched in a given tissue. The black columns represent the percent of all genes in the fly genome that were defined as enriched in a particular tissue. These can be interpreted as the percentage of tissue enriched gene that would be expected in a random list of genes.
