Sex-Specific Co-expression Networks and Sex-Biased Gene Expression in the Salmonid Brook Charr Salvelinus fontinalis [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Networks of co-expressed genes produce complex phenotypes associated with functional novelty. Sex differences in gene expression levels or in the structure of gene co-expression networks can cause sexual dimorphism and may resolve sexually antagonistic ...

Domestication affects sex-biased gene expression evolution in the duck. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2023 Genes with sex-biased expression are thought to underlie sexually dimorphic phenotypes and are therefore subject to different selection pressures in males and females. Many authors have proposed that sexual conflict leads to the evolution of sex-biased expression, which allows males and females to reach separate phenotypic and fitness ...

Sex-Biased Gene Expression Under Sexually Antagonistic and Sex-Limited Selection. [PDF]
Mol Biol EvolSex differences in gene expression are ubiquitous, evolve quickly, and are expected to underlie phenotypic sexual dimorphism (SD). Despite long-standing interest, the impact of sex-specific selection on the transcriptome remains poorly understood.

Dynamics of sex-biased gene expression during development in the stick insect Timema californicum. [PDF]
Heredity (Edinb), 2022 Sexually dimorphic phenotypes are thought to arise primarily from sex-biased gene expression during development. Major changes in developmental strategies, such as the shift from hemimetabolous to holometabolous development, are therefore expected to ...

The evolution of sex-biased gene expression in the Drosophila brain. [PDF]
Genome Res, 2020 Genes with sex-biased expression in Drosophila are thought to underlie sexually dimorphic phenotypes and have been shown to possess unique evolutionary properties. However, the forces and constraints governing the evolution of sex-biased genes in the somatic tissues of ...

Widespread Adaptive Evolution of Drosophila Genes With Sex-Biased Expression [PDF]
Genetics, 2006 Abstract Many genes in higher eukaryotes show sexually dimorphic expression, and these genes tend to be among the most divergent between species. In most cases, however, it is not known whether this rapid divergence is caused by positive selection or if it is due to a relaxation of selective constraint.

Molecular Evolution of Sex-Biased Genes in Drosophila [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2004 Studies of morphology, interspecific hybridization, protein/DNA sequences, and levels of gene expression have suggested that sex-related characters (particularly those involved in male reproduction) evolve rapidly relative to non-sex-related characters.

Sex-biased expression of microRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Open Biology, 2014 Most animals have separate sexes. The differential expression of gene products, in particular that of gene regulators, is underlying sexual dimorphism. Analyses of sex-biased expression have focused mostly on protein-coding genes.
