Prediction of sex-determination mechanisms in avian primordial germ cells using RNA-seq analysis
Scientific Reports, 2022 In birds, sex is determined through cell-autonomous mechanisms and various factors, such as the dosage of DMRT1. While the sex-determination mechanism in gonads is well known, the mechanism in germ cells remains unclear.

Understanding Transcription Factors and How They Affect Processes in Cucumber Sex Determination
Metabolites, 2023 Plant reproduction is a fundamental process on Earth from the perspective of biodiversity, biomass gain, and crop productivity. It is therefore important to understand the sex determination process, and many researchers are investigating the molecular ...

Demographic and genetic consequences of disturbed sex determination. [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 During sex determination, genetic and/or environmental factors determine the cascade of processes of gonad development. Many organisms, therefore, have a developmental window in which their sex determination can be sensitive to, for example, unusual ...

Somatic, germline and sex hierarchy regulated gene expression during Drosophila metamorphosis [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Drosophila melanogaster undergoes a complete metamorphosis, during which time the larval male and female forms transition into sexually dimorphic, reproductive adult forms.

Whole-Genome Methylation Analysis of Female, Male, and Neomale Northern Pike (<i>Esox lucius</i>). [PDF]
Animals (Basel)To investigate the effect of epigenetic modifications on sex determination and differentiation in northern pike (Esox lucius), we employed Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) to analyze the DNA methylation patterns in gonadal tissues of females ...

Evolution Letters, 2022 Sexual antagonism is a common hypothesis for driving the evolution of sex chromosomes, whereby recombination suppression is favored between sexually antagonistic loci and the sex‐determining locus to maintain beneficial combinations of alleles.

Evidence for a genetic sex determination in Cnidaria, the Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Sexual reproduction is widespread among eukaryotes, and the sex-determining processes vary greatly among species. While genetic sex determination (GSD) has been intensively described in bilaterian species, no example has yet been recorded among non ...

BMC Biology, 2018 Background Sex determination relies on a hierarchically structured network of genes, and is one of the most plastic processes in evolution. The evolution of sex-determining genes within a network, by neo- or sub-functionalization, also requires the ...
