Cis-regulatory Variation in Relation to Sex and Sexual Dimorphism in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Much of sexual dimorphism is likely due to sex-biased gene expression, which results from differential regulation of a genome that is largely shared between males and females. Here, we use allele-specific expression to explore cis-regulatory variation in Drosophila melanogaster in relation to sex. We develop a Bayesian framework to infer the transcriptome-wide joint distribution of cis-regulatory effects across...
