Uniform female-biased sex ratios in alpine willows [PDF]
, 2012 Premise of the study: The development of biased sex ratios in dioecious plant species has been ascribed to either (1) factors influencing differential adult mortality of male and female plants or (2) factors acting at an early life stage that determine ...

Sex-biased genetic effects on gene regulation in humans [PDF]
Genome Research, 2012 Human regulatory variation, reported as expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), contributes to differences between populations and tissues. The contribution of eQTLs to differences between sexes, however, has not been investigated to date. Here we explore regulatory variation in females and males and demonstrate that 12%–15% of autosomal eQTLs ...

A Novel Dataset for Identifying Sex-Biased Genes in Drosophila [PDF]
Journal of Genomics, 2014 Phenotypic differences between males and females of sexually dimorphic species are caused in large part by differences in gene expression between the sexes, most of which occurs in the gonads. To accurately identify genes differentially expressed between males and females in Drosophila, we sequenced the testis and ovary transcriptomes of D.

Genome Biology, 2018 Background The patterns of gene expression on highly differentiated sex chromosomes differ drastically from those on autosomes, due to sex-specific patterns of selection and inheritance.

Sex biased expression and co-expression networks in development, using the hymenopteran Nasonia vitripennis. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2020 Sexual dimorphism requires regulation of gene expression in developing organisms. These developmental differences are caused by differential expression of genes and isoforms.

Recombination dynamics of a human Y-chromosomal palindrome:rapid GC-biased gene conversion, multi-kilobase conversion tracts, and rare inversions [PDF]
, 2013 The male-specific region of the human Y chromosome (MSY) includes eight large inverted repeats (palindromes) in which arm-to-arm similarity exceeds 99.9%, due to gene conversion activity.

The Ontogeny and Evolution of Sex-Biased Gene Expression in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2014 Sexually dimorphic phenotypes are thought to largely result from sex differences in gene expression, and genes with sex-biased expression have been well characterized in adults of many species. Although most sexual dimorphisms manifest in adults, many result from sex-specific developmental trajectories, implying that juveniles may exhibit significant ...

Female-biased expression of long non-coding RNAs in domains that escape X-inactivation in mouse
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Sexual dimorphism in brain gene expression has been recognized in several animal species. However, the relevant regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood.
