Assembled chromosomes of the blood fluke <i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> provide insight into the evolution of its ZW sex-determination system

2021-08-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Schistosoma mansoni is a flatworm that causes a neglected tropical disease affecting millions worldwide. Most flatworms are hermaphrodites but schistosomes have genotypically determined male (ZZ) and female (ZW) sexes. Sex is essential for pathology and transmission, however, the molecular determinants of sex remain unknown and is limited by poorly resolved sex chromosomes i...
