Although sex determination systems in animals are diverse, sex-determining genes have been identified only in mammals and some invertebrates. Recently, DMY (DM domain gene on the Y chromosome) has been found in the sex-determining region on the Y chromosome of the teleost medaka fish, Oryzias latipes.
