Conservation, acquisition, and functional impact of sex-biased gene expression in mammalian tissues

Experiment ID:SRP181218
Technology:RNA-Seq
Description:Sex differences are widespread in human health and disease, which are frequently modeled in other mammalian species. However, the extent to which molecular sex differences are conserved across both tissues and species remains unclear. We conducted a 12-tissue, five-species survey of sex differences in gene expression using both publicly available (human) and newly generated (cynomolgus macaque, mouse, rat, and dog) RNA sequencing data. In each of the tissues assessed, we identified between 128 and 805 genes with conserved sex-biased expression. However, most sex bias in gene expression (~77%) - both female and male - has arisen since the last common ancestor of boroeutherian mammals, likely facilitated by reduced selective constraint. Evolutionary gains and losses of regulation by sex-biased transcription factors drove a significant fraction (~27%) of lineage-specific changes in sex bias. Our study suggests caution in the use of other species as models of human sex differences, and that similar selective pressures have driven sex-biased gene expression both within and outside the reproductive tract. Overall design: Tissue transcriptomes from 12 tissues and 4 species, 3 males and 3 females per species (before removal of outliers) were sequenced and compared for sex differences

Total read count
Total number of reads for the library.
Mapped read count
Number of reads that could be mapped to the transcriptome.
Total UMI count
Total number of individual RNA molecules (UMI) for the annotated sample. Only applicable for libraries producing UMIs.
Mapped UMI count
Number of UMIs that could be mapped to the transcriptome. Only applicable for libraries producing UMIs.
Distinct rank count
When performing a fractional ranking of the genes in the annotated sample, based on their expression level, number of distinct ranks observed, to have a value of the power for distinguishing expression levels. Used as a weight to compute a weighted mean rank accross samples for each gene and compute expression scores in Bgee.
Max rank
When performing a fractional ranking of the genes in the annotated sample, based on their expression level, maximum rank attained in the sample. Used to normalize ranks accross samples and compute expression scores in Bgee.
