However, in birds, compensation is inefficient, implying that for many genes dosage compensation is not critical, and for some genes, dosage differences have even been selected for.3 pageshttp://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/search.php "Author can archive pre-print (ie pre-refereeing) …[and] post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) … [and] publisher's version/PDF" - from SHERPA/RoMEO site (as at 22/02/10)Keywords: cell viability; gene; gene dosage; gene expression regulation; genetic difference; human; nonhuman; priority journal; regulatory mechanism; sex chromosome; short survey; animal; bird; Drosophila; female; genetics; male; mammal; mouse; note; Animalia; Aves2007-03-2210.1186/jbiol552015-12-09
