Feminizer and doublesex knock-outs cause honey bees to switch sexes.

PLoS Biology, 2019
Honey bees are experts at refuting societal norms. Their matriarchal hives are headed by queens, backed by an all-female workforce, and males die soon after copulation.

Isolation and characterization of oligomerization domain I and II coding regions of doublesex genes in agricultural fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2010
Bactrocera fruit flies are ranked among the most destructive pests of the worldwide fruit and vegetable trades. Coding regions of two oligomerization domains within doublesex (dsx) genes were determined in Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly) and B ...

Batesian mimicry has evolved with deleterious effects of the pleiotropic gene doublesex

Scientific Reports, 2020
Dimorphic female-limited Batesian mimicry in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio polytes is regulated by the supergene locus H, harbouring the mimetic (H) and non-mimetic (h) doublesex (dsx) gene. In the present study, we demonstrated that dsx-H negatively

Sexual dimorphism in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus transcriptome

Zoological Letters
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.

Characterization of doublesex and nanos genes in Acropora millepora

, 2005
Scleractinian coral, Acropora millepora is a hermaphroditic species which develops both male and female gonads in each polyp at the same time. Corals are diploblastic metazoa and have a simple body structure without well-defined organs. They lack typical reproductive system.

Integrative omics reveals clues as to why Cynoglossus semilaevis pseudomales produce no W sperm

Aquaculture Reports
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).

The Xenopus doublesex-related gene Dmrt5 is required for olfactory placode neurogenesis

Developmental Biology, 2013
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.
