DOI: 10.1007/978-981-10-3975-1_2
Abstract: The sex of birds is determined by inheritance of sex chromosomes at fertilization. The embryo with two Z chromosomes (ZZ) develops into a male; by contrast, the embryo with Z and W chromosomes (ZW) becomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2021.737044
Abstract: Abstract The golden pompano, Trachinotus ovatus, is a promising species in the mariculture. However, the sex identification in alive individual is a bottleneck step in selective breeding. The golden pompano and the greater amberjack, Seriola… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jdermsci.2018.05.007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Sex-determining region Y-box (SOX) proteins function as transcriptional regulators. The derivation of melanocytes from nerve crest cells has been reported to depend on SOX proteins, including SOX10 and SOX5. Whether SOX6 is expressed and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-36209-2
Abstract: In the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), sex is determined by a single Mendelian factor, yet its sex chromosomes do not exhibit morphological differentiation typical of many vertebrate taxa that possess a single sex-determining locus. As… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-018-0019-5
Abstract: Male and female gametes differing in size—anisogamy—emerged independently from isogamous ancestors in various eukaryotic lineages, although genetic bases of this emergence are still unknown. Volvocine green algae are a model lineage for investigating the transition… read more here.

Neofunctionalization of a Noncoding Portion of a DNA Transposon in the Coding Region of the Chimerical Sex-Determining Gene dm-W in Xenopus Frogs

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac138
Abstract: Abstract Most vertebrate sex-determining genes (SDGs) emerge as neofunctionalized genes through duplication and/or mutation of ancestral genes that are involved with sexual differentiation. We previously demonstrated dm-W to be the SDG in the African clawed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0229
Abstract: Sex chromosomes or sex-determining regions (SDR) have been discovered in many dioecious plant species, including the iconic ‘living fossil' Ginkgo biloba, though the location and size of the SDR in G. biloba remain contradictory. Here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/gr.274266.120
Abstract: Concepts of evolutionary biology suggest that morphological change may occur by rare punctual, but rather large changes, or by more steady and gradual transformations. It can therefore be asked whether genetic changes underlying morphological, physiological,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16466
Abstract: The evolution of sex chromosomes and their differentiation from autosomes is a major event during genome evolution that happened many times in several lineages. The repeated evolution and lability of sex-determination mechanisms in fishes makes… read more here.

Haploid selection, sex ratio bias, and transitions between sex-determining systems

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.2005609
Abstract: Sex determination is remarkably dynamic; many taxa display shifts in the location of sex-determining loci or the evolution of entirely new sex-determining systems. Predominant theories for why we observe such transitions generally conclude that novel… read more here.

Abstract: Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is an important marine fish species of both fisheries and aquaculture in Northeast Asia. The commercial interest for all-female progenies due to several sex-related traits has prompted basic research on the… read more here.
