Male sex determination of most mammals is sry-dependent. However, there appears to be
no sry gene in Microtus mandarinus mandarinus, one of a few rodents that have lost sry but …

Most mammalian sex determination belongs to male heterogametic type of genetic sex
determination. Sex determination of most mammals depends on the Y chromosome. SRY …

Background Maleness in mammals is genetically determined by the Y chromosome. On the
Y chromosome SRY is known as the mammalian male-determining gene. Both placental …

In mammals, gender follows from the development of the embryonic gonads as testis or
ovaries and is under genetic control. In males, testis development is dependent on the …

PCR was performed with primers corresponding to the Sry HMG-box of the mouse and eight
Microtus species. Primers for the SALL4 gene and the ZFY/ZFX gene were used as positive …

Abstract R-spondin1 (RSPO1) is a potential female-determining gene in human (Homo
sapiens) and mouse (Mus musculus). Its differential expression in these mammals is …

Little is known about sex determination and differentiation in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle
Pelodiscus sinensis. R-Spondin 1 (RSPO1), a candidate sex-determining gene, is an …

Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis is an important aquaculture species in
China, the male individual being more valuable in aquaculture because of its larger body …

Since the identification of SRY as the mammalian Y‐chromosomal testis‐determining gene
a decade ago, more than a dozen additional genes essential for early gonadal development …

RSPO1 is a newly discovered gene involved in sex differentiation. Two goat BAC clones
encompassing the RSPO1 gene (gRSPO1) were injected into mouse oocytes and several …
