The Role of Genetics in Sex Diversity. [PDF]
Med Genet, 2023 Sex is a major and complex feature of individual development and concerns all levels of the human appearance – from cells to tissues to hormones to organs to behaviour. It marks embodiment and is the reference for gender. And it may also be the most controversial feature of “the” human body.

ON GENETIC SEGREGATION AND THE EVOLUTION OF SEX [PDF]
Evolution, 1992 It has recently been argued that because the genetic load borne by an asexual species resulting from segregation, relative to a comparable sexual population, is greater than two, sex can overcome its twofold disadvantage and succeed. We evaluate some of the assumptions underlying this argument and discuss alternative assumptions.

Sex dimorphism of weight and length at birth: evidence based on disorders of sex development
Annals of Human Biology, 2022 Background Males have higher weight and length at birth than females. Aim To verify the influence of the Y chromosome and the action of intrauterine androgens on weight and length at birth of children with Disorders of Sex Development (DSD). Subjects and

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Mouse sex chromosomes are enriched for co-amplified gene families, present in tens to hundreds of copies. Co-amplification of Slx/Slxl1 on the X chromosome and Sly on the Y chromosome are involved in dose-dependent meiotic drive, however the role of ...

Sex Chromosome Evolution in Muscid Flies
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Sex chromosomes and sex determining genes can evolve fast, with the sex-linked chromosomes often differing between closely related species. Population genetics theory has been developed and tested to explain the rapid evolution of sex chromosomes and sex
