  text: While sexual reproduction is widespread among many taxa, asexual lineages
    have repeatedly evolved from sexual ancestors. Despite extensive research on the
    evolution of sex, it is still unclear whether this switch represents a major transition
    requiring major molecular reorganization, and how convergent the changes involved
    are. In this study, we investigated the phylogenetic relationship and patterns
    of gene expression of sexual and asexual lineages of Eurasian Artemia brine shrimp,
    to assess how gene expression patterns are affected by the transition to asexuality.
    We find only a few genes that are consistently associated with the evolution of
    asexuality, suggesting that this shift may not require an extensive overhauling
    of the meiotic machinery. While genes with sex-biased expression have high rates
    of expression divergence within Eurasian Artemia, neither female- nor male-biased
    genes appear to show unusual evolutionary patterns after sexuality is lost, contrary
    to theoretical expectations.
