Genetic constraints on microevolutionary divergence of sex-biased gene expression. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2018 The evolution of sex-specific phenotypes is an important dimension of diversification and local adaptation. The sex-dependent regulation of gene expression is considered a key genomic mechanism facilitating sex-dependent adaptation.

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 ...

Sex-biased gene expression in nutrient-sensing pathways. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 Differences in lifespan between males and females are found across many taxa and may be determined, at least in part, by differential responses to diet.

Sex-biased gene expression is repeatedly masculinized in asexual females [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Evolution of optimal gene expression in females is expected to be constrained by sexually-antagonistic selection on males. Here, Parker and colleagues show that gene expression has in fact become masculinized in female stick insects across five ...

Sex-biased gene expression and recent sex chromosome turnover. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021 Abstract Cichlids are well known for their propensity to radiate generating arrays of morphologically and ecologically diverse species in short evolutionary time. Following this rapid evolutionary pace, cichlids show high rates of sex chromosome turnover. We here studied the evolution of sex-biased gene (SBG) expression in 14 recently

Evolution of sex-biased gene expression in a dioecious plant [PDF]
Nature Plants, 2016 Separate sexes and sex-biased gene expression have repeatedly evolved in animals and plants, but the underlying changes in gene expression remain unknown.

Large scale gene expression meta-analysis reveals tissue-specific, sex-biased gene expression in humans [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2016 The severity and prevalence of many diseases are known to differ between the sexes. Organ specific sex-biased gene expression may underpin these and other sexually dimorphic traits.

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.

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.
