Differential regulation drives plasticity in sex determination gene networks.

BMC evolutionary biology - 16 Dec 2010

MacCarthy Thomas, Seymour Robert M, Pomiankowski Andrew

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sex determination networks evolve rapidly and have been studied intensely across many species, particularly in insects, thus presenting good models to study the evolutionary plasticity of gene networks. RESULTS: We study the evolution of an unlinked gene capable of regulating an existing diploid sex determination system. Differential gene expression determines phenotypic sex and fitness, dramatically...
