<i>sisterless A</i> is required for activation of <i>Sex lethal</i> in the <i>Drosophila</i> germline

2019-12-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Both somatic cells and germ cells must establish their correct sexual identity for proper gametogenesis. In Drosophila, sex determination in somatic cells is controlled by the switch gene Sex lethal ( Sxl ), which is activated in females by the presence of two X chromosomes. Though germline sex determination is much less well understood, Sxl is also essential for the female identity in germ...
