Relationship between sex biases in gene expression and sex biases in autism and Alzheimer’s disease
Biology of Sex DifferencesBackground Sex differences in the brain may play an important role in sex-differential prevalence of neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods In order to understand the transcriptional basis of sex differences, we analyzed multiple, large-scale, human ...

Transvection regulates the sex-biased expression of a fly X-linked gene [PDF]
Science, 2021 International audienceSexual dimorphism in animals results from sex-biased gene expression patterns. These patterns are controlled by genetic sex determination hierarchies that establish the sex of an individual.

Sexual dimorphism and the evolution of sex-biased gene expression in the brown alga ectocarpus [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2015 International audienceMales and females often have marked phenotypic differences, and the expression of these dissimilarities invariably involves sex differences in gene expression. Sex-biased gene expression has been well characterized in animal species,

Two novel genomes of fireflies with different degrees of sexual dimorphism reveal insights into sex-biased gene expression and dosage compensation [PDF]
Communications BiologySexual dimorphism arises because of divergent fitness optima between the sexes. Phenotypic divergence between sexes can range from mild to extreme. Fireflies, bioluminescent beetles, present various degrees of sexual dimorphism, with species showing very

Characterizing Sex-Biased Gene Expression in the Green Anole
, 2015 The anole is used as a model system for studying tissue regeneration, and there is a strong interest in applying the results of regeneration research to human health; however, patterns of sex-biased gene expression may affect estimates of gene expression

Comparative developmental genomics of sex-biased gene expression in early embryogenesis across mammals. [PDF]
Biol Sex Differ, 2023 Background Mammalian gonadal sex is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome and the subsequent production of sex hormones contributes to secondary sexual differentiation.

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 ...
