Large scale gene expression meta-analysis reveals tissue-specific, sex-biased gene expression in humans

The severity and prevalence of many diseases are known to differ between the sexes. Organ specific sex-biased gene expression may underpin these and other sexually dimorphic traits. To further our understanding of sex differences in transcriptional regulation, we performed meta-analyses of sex biase...
