The evolutionary dynamics of sex determination.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 25 Sept 1998

Marín I, Baker B S

Abstract excerpt

REVIEW There is substantial cytogenetic data indicating that the process of sex determination can evolve relatively rapidly. However, recent molecular studies on the evolution of the regulatory genes that control sex determination in the insect Drosophila melanogaster, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, and mammals suggest that, although certain sex determination regulatory genes have evolved relatively...
