Evolution of the complementary sex-determination gene of honey bees: balancing selection and trans-species polymorphisms.

Genome research - 1 Nov 2006

Cho Soochin, Huang Zachary Y, Green Daniel R, Smith Deborah R, Zhang Jianzhi

Abstract excerpt

The mechanism of sex determination varies substantively among evolutionary lineages. One important mode of genetic sex determination is haplodiploidy, which is used by approximately 20% of all animal species, including >200,000 species of the entire insect order Hymenoptera. In the honey bee Apis mellifera, a hymenopteran model organism, females are heterozygous at the csd (complementary sex determination) locus,...
