The roles of sexual selection and sexual conflict in shaping patterns of genome and transcriptome variation
Sexual dimorphism is one of the most prevalent, and often the most extreme, examples of
phenotypic variation within species, and arises primarily from genomic variation that is …

Genome-wide sexually antagonistic variants reveal long-standing constraints on sexual dimorphism in fruit flies
The evolution of sexual dimorphism is constrained by a shared genome, leading to 'sexual
antagonism', in which different alleles at given loci are favoured by selection in males and …

[HTML][HTML] Recent progress in understanding the genomic architecture of sexual conflict
Genomic conflict between the sexes over shared traits is widely assumed to be resolved
through the evolution of sex-biased expression and the subsequent emergence of sexually …

The genomic footprint of sexual conflict
Genes with sex-biased expression show a number of unique properties and this has been
seen as evidence for conflicting selection pressures in males and females, forming a genetic …

The battle of the sexes in humans is highly polygenic
Sex-differential selection (SDS), which occurs when the fitness effects of alleles differ
between males and females, can have profound impacts on the maintenance of genetic …
