A Topbp1 mutant mouse reveals a non-canonical role for the ATR-TOPBP1 signaling axis in meiosis, separating ATR signaling and meiotic sex chromosome inactivation from sex body formation.

The ability to adjust body size in response to diet is greater in Drosophila females than males because of a sex difference in the nutrient-dependent regulation of the insulin pathway.

Drosophila females store more fat than males because the presence of a functional Transformer protein in females limits adipokinetic hormone production and pathway activity.
An in-depth map of ATR signaling during mouse meiosis is revealed using a combination of genetic and pharmacological approaches coupled to quantitative mass spectrometry.
Mice exposed to complex early adversity show similar diffusion MRI changes to those reported in humans and sex-specific changes in connectivity that differentially affect contextual deficits in males and females.

A single-cell RNA-seq study examining gene expression profiles in neurons that underlie Drosophila reproductive behaviors shows males and females build sex-specific behaviors at the molecular-genetic level by overlaying sex-specific information on core gene expression networks.
