Abstract
The profound differences between the sexes in gene expression are increasingly used to study the molecular basis of sexual dimorphism, sexual selection and sexual conflict . Studies of transcriptional architecture, based on comparisons of gene expression, have been implemented on a wide variety of other intra - specific variation. These efforts are based on key assumptions regarding the relationship between transcriptional architecture, phenotypic variation and the target of selection. Some of these assumptions are better supported by available evidence than others. In all cases, the evidence is largely circumstantial, leaving considerable gaps in our understanding of the relationship between transcriptional and phenotypic dimorphism.
