    Dean A Baker
    Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB1 3QA, United Kingdom
    Genetics 189:1117-20. 2011
    ..We suggest that the degeneration of sex chromosomes in this monandrous species is likely the result of pressures from X inactivation, dosage compensation, and sexual antagonism...
  2. ncbi Variable sexually dimorphic gene expression in laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster
    Dean A Baker
    Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB1 3QA, UK
    BMC Genomics 8:454. 2007
    ..Here, our goal was to identify genes that display transcriptional variation between laboratory strains of Drosophila melanogaster, and to explore evidence of gender-biased interactions underlying that variability...

    Dean A Baker
    Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB13QA, UK
    BMC Genomics 10:242. 2009
    ..Releasing females from diapause allows collection of relatively synchronous developing egg populations and an investigation of some of the transcriptional dynamics apparent before and after reproductive diapause...
