Asymmetric interactions between doublesex and tissue- and sex-specific target genes mediate sexual dimorphism in beetles
Sexual dimorphism is likely the result of differential gene expression. Here, the authors examine the role of thedsxgene in beetles and find that this gene acts in a sex- and tissue-specific manner, either by regulating sex-specific targets or by acting in opposite directions in males and females.
