Comparing the transcriptomes of embryos from domesticated and wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) stocks and examining factors that influence heritability of gene expression

Table 2 Proportions of differentially-expressed genes that display various inheritance patterns

Life stage	Hybrid type	Unique genes	Wild overdominant (%)	Wild dominant (%)	Additive (%)	Domesticated dominant (%)	Domesticated overdominant (%)	Experiment
Embryo	wild♀ × domesticated♂	162	18.5	27.8	33.3	14.2	6.2	Current study
Embryo	domesticated♀ × wild♂	156	4.5	9.0	42.3	23.1	21.2	Current study
Fry	domesticated♀ × wild♂	25	0.0	0.0	48.0	52	0.0	[20]
Feeding fry	domesticated♀ × wild♂	313	1.6	6.1	45.0	42.2	5.1	[20]

Based on a heritability analysis of the differentially expressed genes and a comparison of the inheritance patterns to a previous study conducted in sac and feeding fry. For explanation of the various categories see the “Methods” section
