One genome but two sexes: Conflict and the evolution of sexual dimorphism

当男性和女性基本上共享同一套基因时，他们怎么会表现出显著的性别差异呢？通过实验进化黑腹果蝇的两性异形程度，该项目致力于解决进化生物学核心的关键问题。该项目旨在提供一个新颖的，数据丰富的资源，以探索性二态性进化的机制和后果，扩大目前对这一基本进化悖论的理解。

How can males and females display striking sex differences, when they primarily share the same set of genes? By experimentally evolving the degree of sexual dimorphism in Drosophila melanogaster, this project endeavours to address key issues at the heart of evolutionary biology. This project aims to deliver a novel, data-rich resource with which to explore the mechanisms and consequences of sexual dimorphism evolution, to expand current understanding of this fundamental evolutionary paradox.
