Rice WR Genetic hitchhiking and the evolution of reduced genetic activity of the Y sex chromosome. In males, where no early transcripts can be found, a male-specific exon is included which contains many early stop codons thus leading to the creation of a truncated and non functional protein.

DNA Technology and Transgenic Introduction The observation that sex in Drosophila is under genetic control was published over 90 years ago. Once expressed, an autoregulatory feedback loop ensures continued expression throughout the remainder of development.
Horabin JI, Schedl P. Usually, a ratio of X chromosomes to autosome sets greater than one-to-one is a metafemale, a ratio of one-to-one is a female, and ratios of one-to-two of X chromosomes to autosomes is a normal male.
Sex determination also involves the expression of specific autosome and sex chromosome genes. Theoret Pop Biol9 : —
UNR, a new partner of poly A -binding protein, plays a key role in translationally coupled mRNA turnover mediated by the c-fos major coding-region determinant. The evolution of dioecy and plant sex chromosome systems. Other complications exist. All these processes involve reduced effective population size, and should therefore lead to low Y-chromosomal genetic diversity Charlesworth and Charlesworth, American Naturalist.
Although most speciation geneticists agree on the causes of Haldane's rule Box 2the causes and significance of the large X-effect have been questioned— so much so that the large X-effect is now rarely discussed, even by its original proponents [ 1 ].
Recent bioinformatic approaches have already identified two plausible targets, 879 and it seems likely that more targets remain to be discovered.
We mapped RNA reads with Tophat v2. Major components of the sex determination hierarchy are Sex-lethal Sxl , the MSL complex, transformer tra , transformer2 tra2 , and doublesex dsx. Ohno S Sex chromosomes and sex-linked genes. Japan Sea stickleback likely diverged from Pacific Ocean stickleback when the Sea of Japan was geographically isolated from the Pacific Ocean around 1.
