Abundance of female-biased and paucity of male-biased somatically expressed genes on the mouse X-chromosome

Abundance of female-biased and paucity of male-biased somatically expressed genes on the mouse X-chromosome

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Empirical evaluations of sexually dimorphic expression of genes on the mammalian X-chromosome are needed to understand the evolutionary forces and the gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling this chromosome. We performed a large-scale...
