  1. A list of the chicken W genes. Genomic Location gives the chromosome/s where the gene sequences can be found in the chicken reference genome (galGal4). Expression shows the average expression levels as an FPKM value (fragments per kilobase of exon per million fragments mapped) for females from the blastoderm and gonad (E4.5) tissue. The % ID gives the percentage identity of the W gene's open read frame against its Z gametologue for both DNA and amino acid sequences. dN/dS is the ratio of synonomous to non-synonomous substitutions, also across the open read frame of the W genes and their Z gametologues.
