Dmrt1 is required for primary male sexual differentiation in Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis
26 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates, the primary sex-determining signals that initiate sexual development are remarkably diverse, ranging from complete genetic to environmental cues. However, no sex determination-related genes have been functionally identified in reptiles. Here, we characterized a conserved DM domain gene, Dmrt1, in Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis (P. sinensis), which exhibits ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes....
