Evolution of sex-dependent gene expression in three recently diverged species of Drosophila.
Genetics - 1 Nov 2009

Abstract excerpt
Sexual dimorphism in morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits is pervasive in animals, as is the observation of strong sexual dimorphism in genomewide patterns of gene expression in the few species where this has been studied. Studies of transcriptome divergence show that most interspecific transcriptional divergence is highly sex dependent, an observation consistent with the action of sex-dependent...
