Imprinting is well-documented in both plant and animal species. In Drosophila, the Y
chromosome is differently modified when transmitted through the male and female …

Although the biological utilities of endogenous RNAi (endo-RNAi) have been largely
elusive, recent studies reveal its critical role in the non-model fruitfly Drosophila simulans to …

The evolution of heterogametic sex chromosomes is often—but not always—accompanied
by the evolution of dosage compensating mechanisms that mitigate the impact of sex …

Sex chromosome drivers are selfish elements that subvert Mendel's first law of segregation
and therefore are overrepresented among the products of meiosis. The sex-biased progeny …

Where previously described, patterns of sex chromosome dosage compensation in the
Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) have several unusual characteristics. Other female …

Genes that are expressed differently between males and females (sex-biased genes) often
show a nonrandom distribution in their genomic location, particularly with respect to the …

Genome-wide mRNA transcription profiles reveal widespread molecular sexual dimorphism
or “sex-biased” gene expression, yet the relationship between molecular and phenotypic …

The sex‐ratio trait we describe here in Drosophila simulans results from X‐linked meiotic
drive. Males bearing a driving X chromosome can produce a large excess of females (about …

Sex chromosome dosage compensation balances homogametic sex chromosome
expression with autosomal expression in the heterogametic sex, leading to sex chromosome …

Understanding the role of chromosomal inversions in speciation is a fundamental problem in
evolutionary genetics. Here, we perform a comprehensive reconstruction of the evolutionary …
