The genome and sex-dependent responses to temperature in the common yellow butterfly, Eurema hecabe

BMC Biology, 2023
Background Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) is one of the most geographically widespread insect orders in the world, and its species play important and diverse ecological and applied roles.

Impact of 3D genome organization, guided by cohesin and CTCF looping, on sex-biased chromatin interactions and gene expression in mouse liver

Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2020
Several thousand sex-differential distal enhancers have been identified in mouse liver; however, their links to sex-biased genes and the impact of any sex-differences in nuclear organization and chromatin interactions are unknown. To address these issues,

Oviposition but not sex allocation is associated with transcriptomic changes in females of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis [PDF]

, 2015
This work was supported by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grant (NE/J024481/1). DMS was previously funded by a NERC Advanced Research Fellowship.Linking the evolution of the phenotype to the underlying genotype is a key aim of evolutionary ...

Selection shapes turnover and magnitude of sex-biased expression in Drosophila gonads

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Sex-biased gene expression is thought to drive the phenotypic differences in males and females in metazoans. Drosophila has served as a primary model for studying male-female differences in gene expression, and its effects on protein sequence ...

Sex-biased gene and microRNA expression in the developing mouse brain is associated with neurodevelopmental functions and neurological phenotypes

Biology of Sex Differences, 2023
Background Sex differences pose a challenge and an opportunity in biomedical research. Understanding how sex chromosomes and hormones affect disease-causing mechanisms will shed light on the mechanisms underlying predominantly idiopathic sex-biased ...

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.

An evolutionarily conserved sexual signature in the primate brain. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2008
The question of a potential biological sexual signature in the human brain is a heavily disputed subject. In order to provide further insight into this issue, we used an evolutionary approach to identify genes with sex differences in brain expression ...

Inter- and Intraspecific Variation inDrosophilaGenes with Sex-Biased Expression [PDF]

International Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Genes with sexually dimorphic expression (sex-biased genes) often evolve rapidly and are thought to make an important contribution to reproductive isolation between species. We examined the molecular evolution of sex-biased genes inDrosophila melanogasterandD. ananassae, which represent two independent lineages within themelanogastergroup. We find that

The impact of sex on gene expression across human tissues [PDF]

, 2023
Many complex human phenotypes exhibit sex-differentiated characteristics. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences remain largely unknown. We generated a catalog of sex differences in gene expression and in the genetic regulation of
