The Drosophila sex determination gene snf is utilized for the establishment of the female-specific splicing pattern of Sex-lethal.

Genetics - 1 Jul 1993

Albrecht E B, Salz H K

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila snf gene is a positive regulator of the sex determination gene Sex-lethal in both the germline and the soma. Its role in the soma is only evident when the probability of Sex-lethal activation has been reduced. For instance, in an otherwise wild-type background, females homozygous for a weak snf mutation produce both male and female progeny; however, when mated to males hemizygous for a null allele...
