Patterns of gene expression in ovaries of sexual vs. asexual lineages of a freshwater snail

Why sexual reproduction is so common when asexual reproduction should be much more efficient and less costly remains an open question in evolutionary biology. Comparisons between otherwise similar sexual and asexual taxa allow us to characterize the genetic architecture underlying asexuality, which...
