The X chromosome in immune functions: when a chromosome makes the difference (2010, background): “Second, the X chromosome has special modes of inheritance and evolution, and it is under more efficient selection than the autosomes and accumulates genes with a sex-biased expression pattern (see below”

Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, unknown): “When the fitness effects of such a mutation are positive in females and negative in males, the mutation can spread under positive selection only when the beneficial effects in females outweigh the deleterious effects in males (Vicoso and Charlesworth, 2006).”
Effective population size and patterns of molecular evolution and variation (2009, background): “N e may also vary across different locations in the genome of a species, either as a result of differences in the modes of transmission of different components of the genome (for example, the X chromosome versus the autosome”
