The primary sex determination signal of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1999

Carmi I, Meyer B J

Abstract excerpt

An X chromosome counting process determines sex in Caenorhabditis elegans. The dose of X chromosomes is translated into sexual fate by a set of X-linked genes that together control the activity of the sex-determination and dosage-compensation switch gene, xol-1. The double dose of X elements in XX animals represses xol-1 expression, promoting the hermaphrodite fate, while the single dose of X elements in XO...
