Evolutionary and developmental dynamics of sex-biased gene expression in common frogs with proto-Y chromosomes
Abstract Background The patterns of gene expression on highly differentiated sex chromosomes differ drastically from those on autosomes, due to sex-specific patterns of selection and inheritance. As a result, X chromosomes are often enriched in female-biased genes (feminization) and Z chromosomes in...
