Homozygous disruption of P450 side-chain cleavage (CYP11A1) is associated with prematurity, complete 46,XY sex reversal, and severe adrenal failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Disruption of the P450 side-chain cleavage cytochrome (P450scc) enzyme due to deleterious mutations of the CYP11A1 gene is thought to be incompatible with fetal survival because of impaired progesterone production by the fetoplacental unit.

Generating golden Syrian hamsters with conditional alleles via zygote microinjection of CRISPR/Cas9

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We established the first conditional knockout (cKO) model in the golden Syrian hamster by CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated genome editing. Cas9 protein, two sgRNAs, and a donor plasmid carrying loxP‐flanked exon 2 of the ApoF gene were microinjected into one‐cell embryos. The floxed allele was efficiently generated (up to 27%) and transmitted through the germline.

Left-Right Asymmetry in Chicken Embryonic Gonads

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2014
Avian embryos have reproductive organs with unique characteristics. In female, the gonads develop asymmetrically: the left gonad generates a functional ovary, whereas the right gonad and associated embryonic oviduct (Müllerian duct) regress.

Temporary fat storage, an adaptation of some fish species to the waterlevel fluctuations and related environmental changes of the Amazon river

open access: yes, 1985
Analysis of Amazonian freshwater fish exhibited great differences in water- and fat content. Migratory species which deposit huge amounts of eggs in a single spawning act accumulate at high water-level great amounts of fat in various parts of the body ...

Sex assignment in conditions affecting sex development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The newborn infant with atypical genitalia presents a challenging clinical scenario and requires expert input. There have been appreciable advances in our knowledge of the underlying causes that may lead to a mere difference or a more serious disorder of

Estimation and rapid identification of later stages during embryonic development of the oviparous lizard Sceloporus aeneus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Stages of embryonic development for reptiles have been presented in tables that may include all or part of embryonic development. When oviposition occurs in some lizards, embryos are already in the later stages of development; likewise, the size of the eggs increases as incubation time progresses.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Neuroanatomical diversity in Teleocichla with new volumetric and histological insights into the encephalon of Teleocichla monogramma Kullander 1988

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of
