Polymorphisms in DMRT1 coding and promoter regions are probably not causative for swine sex reversal (XX, SRY-negative) syndrome [PDF]
SRY-negative XX sex reversal is an inherited or sporadically occurring disorder, where testis development appears in the absence of the SRY gene. Although the molecular background of this intersexuality syndrome in pigs is unknown, it was proposed that ...

The Xenopus doublesex-related gene Dmrt5 is required for olfactory placode neurogenesis
The Dmrt (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor) genes encode a large family of evolutionarily conserved transcription factors whose function in sex specific differentiation has been well studied in all animal lineages. In vertebrates, their function is not restricted to the developing gonads.

The South American fruit fly : an important pest insect with RNAi-sensitive larval stages [PDF]
RNA interference (RNAi) technology has been used in the development of approaches for pest control. The presence of some essential genes, the so-called "core genes," in the RNAi machinery is crucial for its efficiency and robust response in gene ...

The progestin levonorgestrel affects sex differentiation in zebrafish at environmentally relevant concentrations [PDF]
Synthetic progestins have become widespread environmental contaminants and may cause adverse effects on fish. In the present study, we investigated the effects of levonorgestrel (LNG) on sex differentiation in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Sexual dimorphism in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus transcriptome
Background In gonochoristic animals, the sex determination pathway induces different morphological and behavioral features that can be observed between sexes, a condition known as sexual dimorphism.

Integrative omics reveals clues as to why Cynoglossus semilaevis pseudomales produce no W sperm
Cynoglossus semilaevis (half-smooth tongue sole) is an important aquaculture species that has a ZW/ZZ sex-determination system (females, ZW; males, ZZ). Some genotypic females may develop phenotypic males, and are known as pseudomales (ZW).

Evolution of sex determination and differentiation in fishes involves a broad range of sex strategies (hermaphroditism, gonochorism, unisexuality, environmental and genetic sex determination). Annual fishes inhabit temporary ponds that dry out during the
