Regional differences in dosage compensation on the chicken Z chromosome (2007)
Melamed, Esther, Arnold, Arthur P
Abstract Background Most Z chromosome genes in birds are expressed at a higher level in ZZ males than in ZW females, and thus are relatively ineffectively dosage compensated. Some Z genes are...
Dosage compensation is less effective in birds than in mammals (2007)
Itoh, Yuichiro, Melamed, Esther, Yang, Xia, Kampf, Kathy, Wang, Susanna, Yehya, Nadir, ...
Abstract Background In animals with heteromorphic sex chromosomes, dosage compensation of sex-chromosome genes is thought to be critical for species survival. Diverse molecular mechanisms have...

Regional differences in dosage compensation on the chicken Z chromosome
Melamed, Esther, Arnold, Arthur P
Microarray data analysis revealed a cluster of well compensated genes in the MHM (male-hypermethylated) region on chicken chromosome Zp, whereas Zq is enriched in non-compensated genes. The...
