Expression of <i>Sox9</i>, <i>Mis</i>, and <i>Dmrt1</i> in the gonad of a species with temperature‐dependent sex determination
26 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Sex determination in vertebrates, the process of forming an ovary or testis from a bipotential gonad, can be initiated by genetic or environmental factors. Elements of the downstream molecular pathways underlying these different sex-determining mechanisms have been evolutionarily conserved. We find the first evidence that Sox9 expression is preferentially organized in the testis early in the temperature-sensitive...
