A microarray analysis of sex-and gonad-biased gene expression in the zebrafish: evidence for masculinization of the transcriptome

CM Small, GE Carney, Q Mo, M Vannucci, AG Jones - BMC genomics, 2009 - Springer
Background In many taxa, males and females are very distinct phenotypically, and these
differences often reflect divergent selective pressures acting on the sexes. Phenotypic
sexual dimorphism almost certainly reflects differing patterns of gene expression between
the sexes, and microarray studies have documented widespread sexually dimorphic gene
expression. Although the evolutionary significance of sexual dimorphism in gene expression
remains unresolved, these studies have led to the formulation of a hypothesis that male …
