Sex-Specific Selection and Sex-Biased Gene Expression in Humans and Flies. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Sexual dimorphism results from sex-biased gene expression, which evolves when selection acts differently on males and females. While there is an intimate connection between sex-biased gene expression and sex-specific selection, few empirical studies have

Domestication affects sex-biased gene expression evolution in the duck [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 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.

Navigating sex and sex roles: deciphering sex-biased gene expression in a species with sex-role reversal (Syngnathus typhle) [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceSexual dimorphism, the divergence in morphological traits between males and females of the same species, is often accompanied by sex-biased gene expression.

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.

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.

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 ...

Sex-biased gene expression during head development in a sexually dimorphic stalk-eyed fly. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Stalk-eyed flies (family Diopsidae) are a model system for studying sexual selection due to the elongated and sexually dimorphic eye-stalks found in many species.
