Abstract excerpt
The autosomal sex-determining gene tra-1 plays a major role in controlling sexual phenotype in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This gene is the terminal global regulator in a well-characterized cascade of sex-determining genes. It governs all aspects of somatic sexual differentiation, and it also has important functions in governing germ-line differentiation. Previous genetic analyses have led to the...
