    Sammanfattning : Sex differences in the human body affect many different organs and tissues, some of them have an effect on the human brain and its development. In the developing nervous system, sex differences can bias the number or functionality of neurons, glial cells or synapses. As a result, neural networks might develop with a sex-specific bias.

  3. 2. Evolution of sex chromosomes in Sylvioidea songbirds

    Författare :Hanna Sigeman; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sex chromosome; neo-sex chromosome; Birds; vertebrates; Genomics; Bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : Sex chromosomes were discovered more than 100 years ago. They have been studied intensely from a theoretical perspective since then, giving rise to a large body of testable predictions about their evolution from autosomes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sex Chromosome Evolution in a Hermaphrodite : Genetic and phenotypic relationships between sex roles

    Författare :Anna Nordén; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sex chromosome evolution; Hermaphrodite; Inter-sexual genetic correlation; Quantitative genetics; Macrostomum lignano; Experimental evolution; Sexual conflict;

    Sammanfattning : Sex chromosome evolution in a hermaphrodite ancestor starts with the establishment of a sex-determining region (SDR). Over time, sex-specific genes, and/or sexually antagonistic alleles will become linked to the SDR. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The genomic basis of the response to female-limited X-chromosome evolution

    Författare :Yesbol Manat; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X chromosome; Sex chromosome; Drosophila melanogaster; Experimental evolution; sexual selection; intralocus sexual conflict;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I attempted to achieve a better understanding of the nature of X-linked polymorphic loci using a female-limited X chromosome (FLX) experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster. I expected that expressing the evolved X chromosome will result in an increase in female fitness and a decrease in male fitness. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On the Evolution of the Avian Transcriptome

    Författare :Severin Uebbing; Hans Ellegren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolution; gene expression; regulation; RNA-seq; transcriptomics; proteomics; sex chromosome; dosage compensation; divergence; ASE; birds; Ficedula; flycatcher; chicken; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Change in gene expression is a powerful tool for evolution, because seemingly small expression changes can contribute important steps towards adaptation without necessarily affecting the whole organism. There is still much to learn about how gene expression evolves on genome- and population-wide levels, especially in non-model organisms. LÄS MER
