Temperature-dependent sex determination in the american alligator:AMH precedesSOX9 expression
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Gonadal morphogenesis is very similar among mammals, birds, and reptiles. Despite this similarity, each group utilises quite different genetic triggers for sex determination. In mammals, testis development is initiated by action of the Y-chromosome gene SRY. Current evidence suggests that SRY may act together with a related gene, SOX9, to activate another gene(s) in the pathway of testicular differentiation. A...
