The genetics of thermosensitive sex determination [PDF]

open access: yesTemperature, 2016
Temperature-dependent sex determination, TSD for short, was first discovered in reptiles and has been studied for decades. However, the mechanism underlying TSD has been remarkably hard to define.

A Genetic Map for the Only Self-Fertilizing Vertebrate

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2016
The mangrove killifish Kryptolebias marmoratus, and its close relative Kryptolebias hermaphroditus, are the only vertebrate species known to reproduce by self-fertilization due to functional ovotestis development.

The quantitative genetic basis of sex ratio variation in Nasonia vitripennis : a QTL study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Our understanding of how natural selection should shape sex allocation is perhaps more developed than for any other trait. However, this understanding is not matched by our knowledge of the genetic basis of sex allocation.

Discovery of Sexual Dimorphisms in Metabolic and Genetic Biomarkers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Metabolomic profiling and the integration of whole-genome genetic association data has proven to be a powerful tool to comprehensively explore gene regulatory networks and to investigate the effects of genetic variation at the molecular level.

The scale of population structure in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The population structure of an organism reflects its evolutionary history and influences its evolutionary trajectory. It constrains the combination of genetic diversity and reveals patterns of past gene flow.

The Heritability of Mating Behaviour in a Fly and Its Plasticity in Response to the Threat of Sperm Competition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which animals can cope with rapidly changeable environments, but the evolutionary lability of such plasticity remains unclear.

Early events in the evolution of the Silene latifolia Y chromosome: Male specialization and recombination arrest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Understanding the origin and evolution of sex chromosomes requires studying recently evolved X-Y chromosome systems such as those in some flowering plants.

From sexless to sexy: Why it is time for human genetics to consider and report analyses of sex

open access: yesBiology of Sex Differences, 2017
Science has come a long way with regard to the consideration of sex differences in clinical and preclinical research, but one field remains behind the curve: human statistical genetics.
