Complex Evolutionary History of the Y Chromosome in Flies of the Drosophila obscura Species Group. [PDF]
The Drosophila obscura species group shows dramatic variation in karyotype, including transitions among sex chromosomes. Members of the affinis and pseudoobscura subgroups contain a neo-X chromosome (a fusion of the X with an autosome), and ancestral Y ...

Chromosomal control of wheat endosperm proteins. A critical review. [PDF]
Progress made in the chromosomal location of structural genes for wheat endosperm proteins, and in the study of the regulation and quantitative expression of these genes, by using aneuploids and by related techniques, is critically evaluated ...

Biochemical evidence of chromosome homoeology among related plant genera. [PDF]
Biochemical markers associated with homoelogous chromosome groups 3 and 7 of Triticum aestivum L. have been investigated in genetic stocks carrying chromosomes or chromosomal segments of the same homoeology groups from Agropyron elongatum and Secale ...

Evolution of Sex Chromosome Dosage Compensation in Animals: A Beautiful Theory, Undermined by Facts and Bedeviled by Details [PDF]
Many animals with genetic sex determination harbor heteromorphic sex chromosomes, where the heterogametic sex has half the gene dose of the homogametic sex.

Faced with inequality: chicken do not have a general dosage compensation of sex-linked genes
Background The contrasting dose of sex chromosomes in males and females potentially introduces a large-scale imbalance in levels of gene expression between sexes, and between sex chromosomes and autosomes.

BackgroundThe hypothesis of dosage compensation of genes of the X chromosome, supported by previous microarray studies, was recently challenged by RNA-sequencing data.

Dosage Compensation of the X Chromosomes in Bovine Germline, Early Embryos, and Somatic Tissues [PDF]
Dosage compensation of the mammalian X chromosome (X) was proposed by Susumu Ohno as a mechanism wherein the inactivation of one X in females would lead to doubling the expression of the other.

No current evidence for widespread dosage compensation in S. cerevisiae
Previous studies of laboratory strains of budding yeast had shown that when gene copy number is altered experimentally, RNA levels generally scale accordingly. This is true when the copy number of individual genes or entire chromosomes is altered.
