Patterns and mechanisms of evolutionary transitions between genetic sex-determining systems.

Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology - 3 Jul 2014

Sander van Doorn G

Abstract excerpt

The diversity and patchy phylogenetic distribution of genetic sex-determining mechanisms observed in some taxa is thought to have arisen by the addition, modification, or replacement of regulators at the upstream end of the sex-determining pathway. Here, I review the various evolutionary forces acting on upstream regulators of sexual development that can cause transitions between sex-determining systems. These...
