^a X chromosome features not showing female biased aCGH ratio

^b no hit of feature sequence to heterologous genome (E < 10^-14)

^c any hit to an autosome of the heterologous species

^d any hit to heterochromatin or telomere region

^e not identified as being in excess in D. melanogaster

^f more hits to D. melanogaster genome that to the heterologous genome

^g false negatives with one or more chromosomal explanatory factors
