Summary

• Does the X chromosome have different sex-bias than the autosomes?

According to the reading “The evolutionary causes and consequences of sex-biased gene expression” dosage compensation is the equalized expression of genes in both sexes across chromosomes, while sex bias is defined as unique expression in one sex other the other. 

After analyzing our summary table, bar graph and PCA table, our data strongly suggests that most of the genes present in male and female T. Brevicornis are heavily unbiased to either sex. There is some sex bias to males based on the readings at 2-4, and this sex bias is supported in the reading. In Tribolium, the males experience an "upregulation of expression in X-linked genes". The x chromosome balances the expression of X-linked and autosomal genes in males, while females experience widespread overexpression of X-linked genes.

The upregulated portion in males could be due to ‘over-compensation’ of genes in close proximity to DCC binding sites, which might be present at the 2-4 location. 

• Does the chromosome 2 have different sex-bias than the autosomes?

Chromosome 2 does not contain a different sex-bias than the other autosomes and follows a similar pattern of over compensation at a particular gene segment.
