Abstract: In eutherians, one of the X chromosomes in each cell of the early female embryo is rendered transcriptionally silent through X chromosome inactivation. The choice of which X chromosome to inactivate takes place independently in… read more here.

Abstract: Intralocus sexually antagonistic selection occurs when an allele is beneficial to one sex but detrimental to the other. This form of selection is thought to be key to the evolution of sex chromosomes but is… read more here.
