Revisiting the X:A signal that specifies Caenorhabditis elegans sexual fate.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2007

Gladden John M, Farboud Behnom, Meyer Barbara J

Abstract excerpt

In Caenorhabditis elegans, sex is determined by the opposing actions of X-signal elements (XSEs) and autosomal signal elements (ASEs), which communicate the ratio of X chromosomes to sets of autosomes (X:A signal). This study delves more deeply into the mechanism by which XSEs transmit X chromosome dose. We determined the relative contributions of individual XSEs to the X:A signal and showed the order of XSE...
