Genetic Sex Identification in Orangutans
Anthropologischer Anzeiger, 2003To date, no established protocol for genetic sex identification in orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) exists. In nearly all apes (gibbons, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans), genetic sex identification is possible using the amelogenin gene because copies located on X and Y chromosomes have different sizes.

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 1992
The sex gene SRY has recently been characterized after years of research during which the candidate genes HY and ZFY were excluded. SRY does have all the characteristics expected of the sex gene: it is located on chromosome Y of all mammals, including man; it is specifically expressed in male gonads during early embryonic development mutations and ...

Casopis lekaru ceskych, 1993
A stepwise resolution of the role of individual genes known to play role in sex determination is presented. Cytogenetic abnormalities e.g. male phenotype with XX and female phenotype with XY gonosomal complements helped substantially to ascertain SRY (Sex region of Y) gene activity to be essential for sex phenotype development control.

Genetic Error, Sex, and Diploidy
Journal of Heredity, 1993Mathematical models and experiments on transformation are reported testing the hypothesis that sex and diploidy evolved as a DNA repair system. The models focus on the origin of diploidy and sex by studying selection between asexual haploids, sexual haploids, and diploids.

Genetics of Sex Determination in Eukaryotes
1987The biologically significant consequence of sex is that a genetic variant is no longer the unique property of an individual and its clonal descendents, but becomes part of a gene pool that is shared by the members of a population. Variants can spread through the population, leading, without additional mutations, to the rapid production of new genetic ...

Genetic basis for the determination of sex
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1970Abstract An introductory review is given of some general aspects of the genetic basis for the determination of sex, with particular reference to vertebrates. The Weismann-Fisher view is that sex arose because it was of selective advantage.

Genetic Disorders of Sex Differentiation
2011Disorders of sex development (DSD) constitute a large array of disorders that affect the genito-urinary tract and often include the endocrine system [25]. 46,XY DSD includes 46,XY complete or partial gonadal dysgenesis and undervirilization or undermasculinization of an XY male due to defects in androgen synthesis or action.

Why have sex? The population genetics of sex and recombination
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2006One of the greatest puzzles in evolutionary biology is the high frequency of sexual reproduction and recombination. Given that individuals surviving to reproductive age have genomes that function in their current environment, why should they risk shuffling their genes with those of another individual?

Genetics of Sex Determination in Tilapiine Species
Sexual Development, 2008We identified DNA markers linked to sex determining genes in six closely related species of tilapiine fishes. The mode of sex determination differed among species. In <i>Oreochromis karongae</i> and <i>Tilapia mariae</i> the sex-determining locus is on linkage group (LG) 3 and the female is heterogametic (WZ-ZZ system). In <i&
