  1. ..., the X Chromosome has an excess of ancient genes (25.42%) but a deficiency of young genes (57.16%) (Fig. 4A). Conversely, among male-specific reproductive disease genes, younger genes exhibited a higher excess rate than ancient ones (193.96% vs. 80.09%) (Fig. 4A). These patterns suggest an age-dependent...
  2. ...cells (Vibranovski et al. 2009a). In D. melanogaster and in Caenorhabditis elegans gonads, male-biased coding genes are found to be underrepresented on the X chromosome (Betrán et al. 2002; Parisi et al. 2003; Ranz et al. 2003; Reinke et al. 2004). In Drosophila this underrepresentation is observed only...
  3. ...). This is consistent with previous findings of an enrichment of novel genes on the X Chromosome of Drosophila (Betrán et al. 2002; Levine et al. 2006). Thus, de novo candidates are not uniformly distributed across chromosomes and are particularly enriched on P. pacificus Chromosome X.View larger version...

  6. .....org Genome Research 1255 www..org of X-linked genes with male-biased expression is an emergent property of the Drosophila X chromosome and not intrinsic to the proto-X. Three hypotheses have been put forth to explain the deficiency of genes with male-biased expression on the Drosophila X chromosome. First...

We interpret these results as signatures of embryonic selection, and propose a genetic handicap...
  8. .... 2000) or InterPro family annotation (Hunter et al. 2009). In both cases, we calculated the gene age distribution for each GO or InterPro family category, divided by chromosomes. For example, the Krueppel-associated box C2H2 zinc-finger protein family (KZNF) was known to have expanded especially...
