A new marker based on the avian spindlin gene that is able to sex most birds, including species problematic to sex with CHD markers [PDF]
, 2016 We have developed a new marker (Z43B) that can be successfully used to identify the sex of most birds (69%), including species difficult or impossible to sex with other markers. We utilized the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata EST microsatellite sequence (
