Cell fate commitment during mammalian sex determination
YT Lin, B Capel - Current opinion in genetics & development, 2015 - Elsevier
The gonads form bilaterally as bipotential organs that can develop as testes or ovaries. All
secondary sex characteristics that we associate with 'maleness' or 'femaleness' depend on …
