Sex determination signals control ovo-B transcription in Drosophila melanogaster germ cells.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2002

Andrews Justen, Oliver Brian

Abstract excerpt

Nonautonomous inductive signals from the soma and autonomous signals due to a 2X karyotype determine the sex of Drosophila melanogaster germ cells. These two signals have partially overlapping influences on downstream sex determination genes. The upstream OVO-B transcription factor is required for the viability of 2X germ cells, regardless of sexual identity, and for female germline sexual identity. The influence...
