Genomic analyses revealed low genetic variation in the intron-exon boundary of the doublesex gene within the natural populations of An. gambiae s.l. in Burkina Faso [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background The recent success of a population control gene drive targeting the doublesex gene in Anopheles gambiae paved the way for developing self-sustaining and self-limiting genetic control strategies targeting the sex determination pathway to reduce

doublesex functions early and late in gustatory sense organ development. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Somatic sexual dimorphisms outside of the nervous system in Drosophila melanogaster are largely controlled by the male- and female-specific Doublesex transcription factors (DSX(M) and DSX(F), respectively).

The Masc–PSI complex directly induces male-type doublesex splicing in silkworms [PDF]

Communications Biology
The WZ sex determination system is found in a diverse range of animals, including lepidopteran insects. In the silkworm Bombyx mori, the masculinizing protein Masculinizer (BmMasc) induces the production of the male-type Bombyx mori doublesex (Bmdsx M ),

Doublesex and GATAβ4 synergistically regulate the sex-dimorphic expression of storage protein 1 in Bombyx mori. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics
Sexually dimorphic traits are widespread in organisms and are crucial for reproduction and behavior. These traits are typically controlled by sex-specific genes. However, their regulatory mechanisms are complex and incompletely understood. In Bombyx mori,

Fruitless, Doublesex And The Genetics Of Social Behavior In \u3cem\u3eDrosophila melanogaster\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2009
Two genes coding for transcription factors, fruitless and doublesex, have been suggested to play important roles in the regulation of sexually dimorphic patterns of social behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.

Doublesex Evolution Is Correlated with Social Complexity in Ants.

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018
The Dmrt (doublesex and mab-3-related transcription factor) genes are transcription factors crucial for sex determination and sexual differentiation. In some social insects, doublesex (dsx) exhibits widespread caste-specific expression across different ...

Control of sexual differentiation and behavior by the doublesex gene in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

Nature Neuroscience, 2010
Doublesex proteins, which are part of the structurally and functionally conserved Dmrt gene family, are important for sex determination throughout the animal kingdom. We inserted Gal4 into the doublesex (dsx) locus of Drosophila melanogaster, allowing us

Double nexus—Doublesex is the connecting element in sex determination [PDF]

Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2015
In recent years, our knowledge of the conserved master-switch gene doublesex (dsx) and its function in regulating the development of dimorphic traits in insects has deepened considerably.

Molecular characterization of transformer, transformer-2, and doublesex genes in the carambola fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, revealing potential for genetic pest management. [PDF]

Insect Sci
Abstract Globalization and climate change may be driving the spread of the quarantine fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, highlighting the need for ecofriendly control methods like the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which relies on releasing sterile males to reduce wild populations.

Doublesex Target Genes in the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2012
Sex determination cascade in insects terminates with the production of sex-specific protein, Doublesex (Dsx). We identified the dsx homolog (Tcdsx) in Tribolium castaneum.
