Y-chromosome evolution: emerging insights into processes of Y-chromosome degeneration
D Bachtrog - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2013 - nature.com
The human Y chromosome is intriguing not only because it harbours the master-switch gene
that determines gender but also because of its unusual evolutionary history. The Y …

A Y-chromosome–encoded small RNA acts as a sex determinant in persimmons
In plants, multiple lineages have evolved sex chromosomes independently, providing a
powerful comparative framework, but few specific determinants controlling the expression of …

Sex reversal triggers the rapid transition from genetic to temperature-dependent sex
Sex determination in animals is amazingly plastic. Vertebrates display contrasting strategies
ranging from complete genetic control of sex (genotypic sex determination) to …
