A sex by probe interaction occurs when the relative amount of the two (or more) probes differs between males and females. Thus, if only one probe was present, then the sex by probe effect is not applicable (NA). *Ratios were estimated for each probe from the natural log of the background corrected signal. †Individual probes were tested for difference between the males and females (sex effect) according to the single transcript model.
