Sex chromosomes drive gene expression and regulatory dimorphisms in mouse embryonic stem cells

Abstract Background Pre-implantation embryos exhibit sexual dimorphisms in both primates and rodents. To determine whether these differences reflected sex-biased expression patterns, we generated transcriptome profiles for six 40,XX, six 40,XY, and two 39,X mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells by RNA seq...
