Evolutionary Patterns of Sex-Biased Genes in Three Species of Haplodiploid Insects
Insects, 2020 Females and males often differ obviously in morphology and behavior, and the differences between sexes are the result of natural selection and/or sexual selection.

Limited evidence for blood eQTLs in human sexual dimorphism
Genome Medicine, 2022 Background The genetic underpinning of sexual dimorphism is very poorly understood. The prevalence of many diseases differs between men and women, which could be in part caused by sex-specific genetic effects.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 Daphnia reproduce by cyclic-parthenogenesis, where phases of asexual reproduction are intermitted by sexual production of diapause stages. This life cycle, together with environmental sex determination, allow the comparison of gene expression between ...

Sex-Biased Gene Expression and Evolution of the X Chromosome in Nematodes [PDF]
Genetics, 2014 Abstract Studies of X chromosome evolution in various organisms have indicated that sex-biased genes are nonrandomly distributed between the X and autosomes. Here, to extend these studies to nematodes, we annotated and analyzed X chromosome gene content in four Caenorhabditis species and in Pristionchus pacificus.

Biology of Sex Differences, 2017 Background Sex is an important but understudied factor in the genetics of human diseases. Analyses using a combination of gene expression data, ENCODE data, and evolutionary data of sex-biased gene expression in human tissues can give insight into the ...

Independent stratum formation on the avian sex chromosomes reveals inter-chromosomal gene conversion and predominance of purifying selection on the w chromosome [PDF]
, 2014 We used a comparative approach spanning three species and 90 million years to study the evolutionary history of the avian sex chromosomes. Using whole transcriptomes, we assembled the largest cross-species dataset of W-linked coding content to date.

Sex-biased gene expression in the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2013 AbstractBackgroundThe fucoid brown algae (Heterokontophyta, Phaeophyceae) are increasingly the focus of ecological genetics, biodiversity, biogeography and speciation research. The molecular genetics underlying mating system variation, where repeated dioecious – hermaphrodite switches during evolution are recognized, and the molecular evolution of sex ...
