Variance in relative read depth per allele of putatively classical and non-classical alleles in three house sparrow (HS2, HS3, and HS4; indicated in green) and three tree sparrow individuals (TS2, TS3 and TS4; indicated in purple). a In cDNA (squares) there is a significant difference in variance in expression (measured as relative read depth per allele) between putatively classical and non-classical alleles (Levine’s test: F = 5.20, p = 0.005). b In gDNA (circles) there is no difference in relative read depth per allele. The highest expressed allele in cDNA does not correspond to the allele with highest relative read depth in gDNA. These highly expressed alleles are marked with a circle in the gDNA plot
