No evidence of sexually antagonistic coevolution in Drosophila reproductive tract transcriptomes

The paper tests for sexually antagonistic coevolution in Drosophila by analyzing female post-mating transcriptomes and finds no evidence of coevolution, instead supporting environmental and female-expressed genetic factors.

Quantifying transcriptome turnover on phylogenies bymodeling gene expression as a binary trait

The paper develops Bayesian methods to quantify transcriptome turnover across species, finding accelerated gene expression changes in testes and accessory glands of Drosophila species.
