Neural circuitry coordinating male copulation
eLife, 2016 Copulation is the goal of the courtship process, crucial to reproductive success and evolutionary fitness. Identifying the circuitry underlying copulation is a necessary step towards understanding universal principles of circuit operation, and how ...

Tracing the origin and evolution of supergene mimicry in butterflies
Nature Communications, 2017 Wing pattern mimicry in the butterfly Papilio polytes is controlled by a single Mendelian locus, the mimicry supergene doublesex. Here, Zhang and colleagues reconstruct the complex evolutionary history of the doublesex supergene and mimicry in the ...

Hemimetabolous insects elucidate the origin of sexual development via alternative splicing
eLife, 2019 Insects are the only known animals in which sexual differentiation is controlled by sex-specific splicing. The doublesex transcription factor produces distinct male and female isoforms, which are both essential for sex-specific development.

Characterization of sex-specific variants of doublesex and feminizer genes in stingless bee species
, 2020 International audienceAbstractSex determination is one of the major developmental events in higher metazoans, where complex molecular mechanisms define two physiologically and behaviorally distinct organisms still genetically compatible.

Sex Differences in Drosophila Somatic Gene Expression: Variation and Regulation by doublesex
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016 Sex differences in gene expression have been widely studied in Drosophila melanogaster. Sex differences vary across strains, but many molecular studies focus on only a single strain, or on genes that show sexually dimorphic expression in many strains ...

Integrative analysis reveals pathways associated with sex reversal in Cynoglossus semilaevis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Sex reversal is a complex biological phenomenon exhibited by Cynoglossus semilaevis. Some genetic females may irreversibly convert to pseudomales, thus increasing aquaculture costs because males grow much more slowly than females.

European Journal of Entomology, 2018 The sex determination cascades in insects are diversified at the top of the cascade, where different primary molecular signals are employed, while at the bottom of the cascades, particularly the doublesex genes, are highly conserved.

The neural basis for a persistent internal state in Drosophila females
eLife, 2020 Sustained changes in mood or action require persistent changes in neural activity, but it has been difficult to identify the neural circuit mechanisms that underlie persistent activity and contribute to long-lasting changes in behavior.

Genome-wide identification and comparative analysis of Dmrt genes in echinoderms
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Dmrt (Doublesex-mab3-related transcription factor) gene family is a class of crucial transcription factors characterized by one or several conserved DM (Doublesex/Mab-3) domains.

Nature Communications, 2020 Polymorphic mimicry in Papilio swallowtail butterflies is thought to have had multiple independent origins. Here, the authors show that the gene doublesex controls mimicry across multiple species, but with distinct alleles that may have originated from ...
