Variable sexually dimorphic gene expression in laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Wild-type laboratory strains of model organisms are typically kept in isolation for many years, with the action of genetic drift and selection on mutational variation causing lineages to diverge with time. Natural populations from which such strains are established, show that gender-specific interactions in particular drive many aspects of sequence level and transcriptional level variation. Here, our...
