Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide mRNA transcription profiles reveal widespread molecular sexual dimorphism or "sex-biased" gene expression, yet the relationship between molecular and phenotypic sexual dimorphism remains unclear. A major unresolved question is whether sex-biased genes typically perform male- and female-specific functions (whether these genes have sex-biased phenotypic or fitness consequences) or have similar...
