Two rather than one For several decades, it has been believed that the mammalian sex-determining gene Sry contains a single exon. Miyawaki et al. have now identified a cryptic second exon of mouse Sry . Loss- and gain-of-function analyses revealed that the two-exon SRY (SRY-T), not the canonical single exon–encoded SRY (SRY-S), is the bona fide testis-determining factor. Sry exon2 is composed of...
