Morphometric Analysis of Mandibular Ramus for Sex Determination on Orthopantomogram
Background: Mandible is the strongest and most dimorphic bone of skull which resists postmortem changes and plays an important role in sex determination. Skeletal characteristic differ in different population therefore need of population specific studies.

A Discriminant Function Analysis of Deciduous Teeth to Determine Sex [PDF]
Abstract Studies of deciduous teeth have concluded that crown size differences in these teeth between males and females are not reliable sex discriminators, in contrast to such differences in permanent teeth. This study measured the mesiodistal and faciolingual crown diameters of all deciduous teeth, as well as those of the permanent ...

Male-biased genes in catfish as revealed by RNA-Seq analysis of the testis transcriptome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Catfish has a male-heterogametic (XY) sex determination system, but genes involved in gonadogenesis, spermatogenesis, testicular determination, and sex determination are poorly understood. As a first step of understanding the transcriptome of

Conflict over condition-dependent sex allocation can lead to mixed sex-determination systems [PDF]
Theory suggests that genetic conflicts drive turnovers between sex-determining mechanisms, yet these studies only apply to cases where sex allocation is independent of environment or condition.

FGF9 and WNT4 act as antagonistic signals to regulate mammalian sex determination [PDF]
The genes encoding members of the wingless-related MMTV integration site (WNT) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) families coordinate growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation in many fields of cells during development.

Bombyx mori histone methyltransferase BmAsh2 is essential for silkworm piRNA-mediated sex determination. [PDF]
Sex determination is a hierarchically-regulated process with high diversity in different organisms including insects. The W chromosome-derived Fem piRNA has been identified as the primary sex determination factor in the lepidopteran insect, Bombyx mori ...

Identification of a sex-linked SNP marker in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) using RAD sequencing [PDF]
The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837)) is a parasitic copepod that can, if untreated, cause considerable damage to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758) and incurs significant costs to the Atlantic salmon mariculture ...

Evaluation of Mandibular Anatomical Formation for Gender Determination in Turkish Population
Background/Aim: Gender determination is one of the most challenging tasks in medico-legal research and forensic dentistry. Several skeletal components are investigated for this purpose and the mandible is one of them.
