Sex-biased gene expression across tissues reveals unexpected differentiation in the gills of the threespine stickleback by Sylvestre, Florent, Aubin-Horth, Nadia, Bernatchez, Louis

“…Using the high multiplexing capability of 3′ QuantSeq to sequence the sex-biased transcriptome of the liver, gills, and brain, we provide the first characterization of sex-specific transcriptomes from ~80 sticklebacks (40 males and 40 females) collected from a natural population during the reproductive period. We find that the liver is extremely differentiated between sexes (36% of autosomal genes) and reflects ongoing reproduction, while the brain shows very low levels of differentiation (0.78%) with no functional enrichment. …”
