A systems-level view of mammalian sex determination.
(2010)Pathologies of sexual development are common in humans and reflect the precarious processes of sex determination and sexual differentiation. The gonad forms as a bipotential organ, and recent results from the Capel lab revealed ... -
Determining the size of the male-specific region in the genome of the scuttle fly, Megaselia scalaris, a potential model system for the earliest stages of sex chromosome evolution
(2012-09-06)Modern day whole-genome sequencing and the ability to make comparisons across many taxa have significantly advanced the study of sex chromosome evolution. The scuttle fly, Megaselia scalaris, is an appropriate model system ... -
Initiation and Maintenance of Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination in the Red-Eared Slider Turtle
(2020)The vertebrate gonad is an excellent model to study organogenesis due to its unique ability to form two distinct organs from a common bipotential primordium. No single factor is responsible for activation of ovary or testis ... -
Morphogenesis and Female Fate Determination in Vertebrates
(2011)A unique feature of the fetal gonad is its ability to form two distinct organs, the testis and the ovary, from a single bipotential primordium. The outcome of this decision, which is made by a population of somatic cells ... -
Understanding Cell Fate Decisions in the Embryonic Gonad
(2011)The divergence of distinct cell populations from multipotent progenitors is poorly understood, particularly <italic>in vivo</italic>. The gonad is an ideal place to study this process because it originates as a bipotential ...
