  1. FCON, control, fertile; ICON, control, infertile; FOE, stage IV, ovarian endometriosis, fertile; IOE, stage IV, ovarian endometriosis, infertile. 1data archived at GSE120103. 2Of 54 total genes showing RNA expression detected in microarray, 21 were for non-coding RNA (BCORP1, GOLGA2P2Y, PRKY, TTTY1, TTTY2, TTTY3, TTTY4C, TTTY5, TTTY6, TTTY7, TTTY8, TTTY9A, TTTY10, TTTY11, TTTY12, TTTY13, TTTY14, TTTY15, TTTY21, TTTY22 and TTTY23) and 33 were for coding RNA (AMELY, BAGE, BPY28, CD24, CDY2A, CSPG4P1Y, DDX3Y, DAZ2, EIF1AY, ERVH6, FAM19742, HSFY2, KDM5D, NLGN4Y, PCDH11Y, PRORY, PRY2, RBMY1B, RBMY 1E, RBMY 2EP, RPS4Y2, SRY, TBL1Y, TGIF2LY, TMSB4Y, TSPY3, TSPY4, TXLNGY, USP9Y, UTY, VCY, XKRY2 and ZFY). Genes shown in bold were confirmed by RNA-seq and qRT-PCR and those shown in italics were confirmed by qRT-PCR, but not by RNA-seq. For further details, see Additional file 2 Table S2
