  1. ...to Muller element F in Drosophila melanogaster (the ancestral fly X Chromosome; 55.6% of fly Muller F genes, chi-squared test, 1 d.f., P = 3.84 × 10−31) (Vicoso and Bachtrog 2013) despite 400 million years of divergence. Through functional enrichment analysis, we show that these conserved X-linked genes...
  2. ...transcribed from their own promoters (Ozsolak et al. 2008) and would require targeted sex-biased regulation, for example by hormones, to become differentially expressed between males and females. In Drosophila, hormonal regulation by ecdysone promotes sex-biased expression of the miRNA locus let-7-C, which...
  3. ...-cholesterol have been detected, respectively, inDrosophila (Nuzhdin et al. 1997) andmouse (Korstanje et al. 2004). Sex-specific eQTLs have also been detected in mice (Yang et al. 2006), but whether such effects on expression regulation are also seen in humans has not been explored to date. To address the above...
  4. ...expressed genes, or some combination of the two. To address this problem, we measured sex-biased expression in multiple Drosophila species and at different developmental time points. These data were combined with available expression measurements from Drosophila melanogaster and mouse to reconcile...
  5. ...via the accumulation of epigenomic marks (Sahakyan et al. 2018). In Drosophila, dosage compensation of the X Chromosome in somatic cells is achieved through the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex, which acetylates histone H4, resulting in hyperexpression of X-linked genes in males (Lucchesi and Kuroda...
  6. ...) and Drosophila (Kaiser et al. 2011). Human X- and chicken Z-linked genes that show the strongest signatures of dosage compensation in either lineage also show signs of dosage sensitivity as measured by membership in large protein complexes (Pessia et al. 2012) or evolutionary patterns of gene duplication...
  7. ...expression. In addition, unless the up-regulation mechanism is specific to males (like in Drosophila) (Fig. 2E; Conrad and Akhtar 2012), the overabundance of X transcripts in females, which results from the combined activity of the two up-regulated X Chromosomes, would lead to the evolution of a compensation...
  8. .... 2010. Co-option of the hormone-signalling module dafachronic acid–DAF-12 in nematode evolution. Nature 466: 494–497. ↵Betrán E, Long M. 2003. Dntf-2r, a young Drosophila retroposed gene with specific male expression under positive Darwinian selection. Genetics 164: 977–988. ↵Brand M, Rampalli S...
  9. ...in Drosophila (MARS2 [Bayat et al. 2012] and RNF113A [Carney et al. 2013]) or perform the same enzymatic process as the endogenous copy in yeast (TRMT12) (Rodriguez et al. 2012). These studies support a substantial functional overlap between orphan and parent, suggesting that new retrogenes can evolve to carry...
  10. ...with motifs for transcription factors (TFs) associated with immune response and hematopoietic maintenance (Fig. 4E; Supplemental File S2), such as RFX5, SMAD1, and EOMES. The rapid evolution of immune response genes and TFs is supported by many studies in vertebrates and in Drosophila melanogaster...
