Reshaping of global gene expression networks and sex‐biased gene expression by integration of a young gene [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2012 New genes originate frequently across diverse taxa. Given that genetic networks are typically comprised of robust, co-evolved interactions, the emergence of new genes raises an intriguing question: how do new genes interact with pre-existing genes? Here, we show that a recently originated gene rapidly evolved new gene networks and impacted sex-biased ...

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.

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 ...

High rates of evolution preceded shifts to sex-biased gene expression in Leucadendron, the most sexually dimorphic angiosperms. [PDF]
Elife, 2021 Differences between males and females are usually more subtle in dioecious plants than animals, but strong sexual dimorphism has evolved convergently in the South African Cape plant genus Leucadendron.

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 ...

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.

Evolutionary dynamics of sex-biased genes expressed in cricket brains and gonads [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Abstract Sex-biased gene expression, particularly sex-biased expression in the gonad, has been linked to rates of protein sequence evolution (nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions, dN/dS) in animals. However, in insects, sex-biased expression studies remain centered on a few holometabolous species, and moreover ...

The unique genomic properties of sex-biased genes: Insights from avian microarray data
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background In order to develop a framework for the analysis of sex-biased genes, we present a characterization of microarray data comparing male and female gene expression in 18 day chicken embryos for brain, gonad, and heart tissue.
