Sex chromosomes and the evolution of sexual dimorphism: lessons from the genome.

Abstract excerpt

Females and males of many animals exhibit a striking array of sexual dimorphisms, ranging from the primary differences of the gametes and gonads to the somatic differences often seen in behavior, morphology, and physiology. These differences raise many questions regarding how such divergent phenotypes can arise from a genome that is largely shared between the sexes. Recent progress in genomics has revealed some...
