Ontogenetic Change in Male Expression of Testosterone-Responsive Genes Contributes to the Emergence of Sex-Biased Gene Expression in Anolis sagrei [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Sex differences in gene expression tend to increase with age across a variety of species, often coincident with the development of sexual dimorphism and maturational changes in hormone levels. However, because most transcriptome-wide characterizations of

Postnatal developmental trajectory of sex-biased gene expression in the mouse pituitary gland [PDF]
Biology of Sex Differences, 2022 Highlights Male and female mouse pituitary gland gene and miRNA expression was profiled across five postnatal ages spanning pubertal development. Sex differences in pituitary gene expression exist prior to puberty and become more prominent upon puberty ...

Fast evolutionary turnover and overlapping variances of sex-biased gene expression patterns defy a simple binary sex classification of somatic tissues [PDF]
eLifeSexual dimorphism in phenotypes is largely driven by genes with sex-biased expression, spanning from key regulators to numerous organ-specific effectors.

Sex-biased gene and microRNA expression in the developing mouse brain is associated with neurodevelopmental functions and neurological phenotypes [PDF]
Biology of Sex Differences, 2023 Background Sex differences pose a challenge and an opportunity in biomedical research. Understanding how sex chromosomes and hormones affect disease-causing mechanisms will shed light on the mechanisms underlying predominantly idiopathic sex-biased ...

Impact of male trait exaggeration on sex-biased gene expression and genome architecture in a water strider [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2021 Background Exaggerated secondary sexual traits are widespread in nature and often evolve under strong directional sexual selection. Although heavily studied from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints, we have little understanding of how sexual ...

Harnessing natural variation to identify cis regulators of sex-biased gene expression in a multi-strain mouse liver model. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Sex differences in gene expression are widespread in the liver, where many autosomal factors act in tandem with growth hormone signaling to regulate individual variability of sex differences in liver metabolism and disease.

Two novel genomes of fireflies with different degrees of sexual dimorphism reveal insights into sex-biased gene expression and dosage compensation [PDF]
Communications BiologySexual dimorphism arises because of divergent fitness optima between the sexes. Phenotypic divergence between sexes can range from mild to extreme. Fireflies, bioluminescent beetles, present various degrees of sexual dimorphism, with species showing very

Sex‐biased dispersal and spatial heterogeneity affect landscape resistance to gene flow in fisher
Ecosphere, 2017 Genetic connectivity results from the dispersal and reproduction of individuals across landscapes. Mammalian populations frequently exhibit sex‐biased dispersal, but this factor has rarely been addressed in individual‐based landscape genetics research ...

Sexual dimorphism and sex-biased gene expression in an egg parasitoid species, Anastatus disparis [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Differences in the expression of genes present in both sexes are assumed to contribute to sex differences including behavioural, physiological and morphological dimorphisms. For enriching our knowledge of gender differences in an important egg
