Genome-wide sexually antagonistic variants reveal long-standing constraints on sexual dimorphism in fruit flies.
The evolution of sexual dimorphism is constrained by a shared genome, leading to 'sexual antagonism', in which different alleles at given loci are favoured by selection in males and females. Despite its wide taxonomic incidence, we know little about the identity, genomic location, and evol...
