Sex determination without sex chromosomes [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 With or without sex chromosomes, sex determination is a synthesis of many molecular events that drives a community of cells towards a coordinated tissue fate. In this review, we will consider how a sex determination pathway can be engaged and stabilized without an inherited genetic determinant.

Polygenic sex determination [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 What is sex determination? Sex determination is the mechanism by which sexual organisms direct gonad development towards distinct but reproductively compatible outcomes. Molecular signaling cascades in the developing gonad provide instructions to the tissue to develop as male or female (or in some cases hermaphrodite), and these signals can be ...

Sex determination in mythology and history [PDF]
, 2005 The history of ideas on how the sexes became divided spans at least three thousand years. The biblical account of the origin of Eve, and the opinions of the philosophers of classical Greece, have unexpected bearings on present-day ideas.

Microbial manipulation of host sex determination [PDF]
, 2012 A recent study in the lepidopteran Ostrinia scapulalis shows that endosymbionts can actively manipulate the sex determination mechanism of their host. Wolbachia bacteria alter the sex-specific splicing of the doublesex master switch gene.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Vertebrates exhibit diverse sex determination systems and reptiles stand out by having highly variable sex determinations that include temperature-dependent and genotypic sex determination (TSD and GSD, respectively).

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Polymorphisms can lead to genetic isolation if there is differential mating success among conspecifics divergent for a trait. Polymorphism for sex‐determining system may fall into this category, given strong selection for the production of viable males ...

Female Sex Development and Reproductive Duct Formation Depend on Wnt4a in Zebrafish. [PDF]
, 2019 In laboratory strains of zebrafish, sex determination occurs in the absence of a typical sex chromosome and it is not known what regulates the proportion of animals that develop as males or females.

Antenatal Sex Determination [PDF]
Nature, 1956 FOR thousands of years people have had a desire to know the sex of an expected child. Many methods have been tried for antenatal sex determination; but even modern ones, based upon scientific hypotheses, have failed to receive sufficient confirmation for general acceptance.
