Dosage compensation and sex-specific epigenetic landscape of the X chromosome in the pea aphid

Abstract Background Heterogametic species display a differential number of sex chromosomes resulting in imbalanced transcription levels for these chromosomes between males and females. To correct this disequilibrium, dosage compensation mechanisms involving gene expression and chromatin accessibilit...
