Sex-specific splicing of Z- and W-borne nr5a1 alleles suggests sex determination is controlled by chromosome conformation

X Zhang, S Wagner, CE Holleley… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Pogona vitticeps has female heterogamety (ZZ/ZW), but the master sex-determining gene is
unknown, as it is for all reptiles. We show that nr5a1 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 5 Group A …
