Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) was first reported in 1966 in a lizard. 1
Since that time it has been shown to occur in a wide variety of reptiles, including all …

Despite 12 yr since the discovery of SRY, little is known at the molecular level about how
SRY and the SRY-related protein, SOX9 [SRY-related high-mobility group (HMG) box 9] …

The only molecular similarity in sex determination found so far among phyla is between the
Drosophila doublesex (dsx) and Caenorhabditis elegans mab-3 genes. dsx and mab-3 …

Sox9 is a transcription factor required for cartilage formation and testis determination in
mammals. We have cloned from zebrafish two sox9 genes, termed sox9a and sox9b. Gene …

The molecular mechanisms that control sexual dimorphism are very different in distantly
related animals. Did sex determination arise several times with different regulatory …

Vertebrates employ varied strategies, both chromosomal and nonchromosomal, to
determine the sex of the developing embryo. Among reptiles, temperature‐dependent sex …

This book is comprised of 12 chapters covering topics in reptilian incubation. The chapters
are written by several authors. This book is aimed at serving as a valuable reference text for …

We examined the expression profiles of tDMRT1 and Sox9a during gonadal sex
differentiation and hormone‐induced sex reversal. tDMRT1 was detected in the gonial germ …

We have previously shown that hexarelin, a novel GH-releasing peptide (GHRP), is able to
elicit GH release when administered iv, sc or by mouth and that it is a more potent GH …

Context: Disorders of sex development (DSDs) may arise from genetic defects in testis or
ovary determination. Current analytical technologies and improved understanding of major …
