1. Sexually Dimorphic Gene Expression in the Mammalian Brain
Abstract : In recent times, major advances have been made towards understanding sexual dimorphism in the brain on a molecular basis. This thesis summarises my modest contributions to these endeavours. Sexual dimorphisms are manifested throughout the spectrum of biological complexity, and can be studied by numerous approaches.

2. Studies on growth hormone induced female-characteristic gene transcription in rat liver
Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) secretion is sexually dimorphic, which has an impact on hepatic gene expression. This is particularly pronounced in rats but has also been demonstrated in other species, including humans. READ MORE

3. Sex differences in behavior and metabolism
Abstract : Men and women exhibit distinct illness patterns and disparate responses to pharmacotherapies. However, there is a scarcity of preclinical studies that systematically compare the sexes. READ MORE

4. Molecular studies on sex differences in hepatic gene expression and fuel metabolism
Abstract : In nature, sex difference is a multifactorial phenomenon. Although having a genotype of XX or XY determines the sex of an individual, the phenotypic sex differences are orchestrated by multiple factors such as developmental stages, nutritional condition, endocrine status and environmental factors.

5. The Evolution of Sex Chromosomes and Dosage Compensation in Structurally Dynamic Butterfly Genomes
Abstract : Dimorphic sex chromosomes have evolved independently throughout evolution from initially homologous autosomes. Recombination suppression between the sex chromosomes causes one sex chromosome to degenerate, which will influence evolution of sex-linked genes. READ MORE
