A genetic analysis of intersex, a gene regulating sexual differentiation in Drosophila melanogaster females.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1995

Chase B A, Baker B S

Abstract excerpt

Sex-type in Drosophila melanogaster is controlled by a hierarchically acting set of regulatory genes. At the terminus of this hierarchy lie those regulatory genes responsible for implementing sexual differentiation: genes that control the activity of target loci whose products give rise to sexually dimorphic phenotypes. The genetic analysis of the intersex (ix) gene presented here demonstrates that ix is such a...
