Selection shapes turnover and magnitude of sex-biased expression in Drosophila gonads

Abstract Background Sex-biased gene expression is thought to drive the phenotypic differences in males and females in metazoans. Drosophila has served as a primary model for studying male-female differences in gene expression, and its effects on protein sequence divergence. However, the forces shapi...
