Sexual size dimorphism in mammals is associated with changes in the size of gene families related to brain development

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, evolution, neuroscience

Sexual size dimorphism in mammals, often linked to sexual selection, can impacts genome evolution. This study finds sexual dimorphism in body size is associated with expanded gene families for olfactory functions and contracted gene families for brain development.
