Comparative developmental genomics of sex-biased gene expression in early embryogenesis across mammals
19 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mammalian gonadal sex is determined by the presence or absence of a Y chromosome and the subsequent production of sex hormones contributes to secondary sexual differentiation. However, sex chromosome-linked genes encoding dosage-sensitive transcription and epigenetic factors are expressed well before gonad formation and have the potential to establish sex-biased expression that persists beyond the...
