Effect of the transformer-2 gene of Anastrepha on the somatic sexual development of Drosophila.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

The transformer-2 gene is involved in sex determination in tephritid flies (Tephritidae). It is required for the auto-regulation of the transformer gene (the memory device for sex determination in these insects) and for the female-specific splicing of doublesex pre-mRNA, the last gene in the sex determination gene cascade. The present manuscript addressed the question of the functional conservation of the...
