New review article on sex-biased gene expression
29.11.2016
Genes that are expressed differently between males and females are known as sex-biased genes. These genes are responsible for most of the phenotypic differences between the sexes and show interesting evolutionary properties. Our current understanding of sex-biased genes and their evolution is reviewed by Sonja Grath and John Parsch in issue 50 of the Annual Review of Genetics.
