Abstract excerpt

Our previous work demonstrated that mutations in the X-linked gene sdc-1 disrupt both sex determination and dosage compensation in Caenorhabditis elegans XX animals, suggesting that sdc-1 acts at a step that is shared by the sex determination and dosage compensation pathways prior to their diverg...
