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

“…Sex is determined by a young XY sex chromosome pair with a non-recombining region divided into three strata, which have started to degenerate. 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. …”
