A novel qPCR-based technique for identifying avian sex: an illustration within embryonic craniofacial bone
2023-03-02
Abstract excerpt
Sex is a biological variable important to consider in all biomedical experiments. However, analyzing sex differences in avian models can be challenging as the sexes are morphologically indistinguishable in most avian embryos. Unlike humans, female birds are the heterogametic sex with a Z and W chromosome. The female-specific W chromosome has previously been identified using species-specific polymerase chain reacti...
