We simulated 1000 virtual children from a general population with age, height and sex distribution based on the available data on mean age, height and sex per trial arm.
We assigned D. melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura genes to one of three classes of sex-biased expression (male biased, female biased, or not sex biased) based on previously published data from whole adult flies (Sturgill et al. 2007; Zhang et al. 2007).
