    The rise and fall of the ancient northern pike master sex-determining gene

    Qiaowei Pan, Romain Feron ... Yann Guiguen
    Tracing the evolution of an old master sex determination gene reveals a diversity of sex determination transitions, including a complete Y chromosome loss, among an old teleost order (Esociformes).

    Targeting sex determination to suppress mosquito populations

    Ming Li, Nikolay P Kandul ... Omar S Akbari
    Genetic analyses and mathematical modeling reveal that disrupting genes essential for sex determination and fertility in Aedes aegypti leads to the production of sterile males, effectively suppressing mosquito populations.

    Sex determination gene transformer regulates the male-female difference in Drosophila fat storage via the adipokinetic hormone pathway

    Lianna W Wat, Zahid S Chowdhury ... Elizabeth J Rideout
    Drosophila females store more fat than males because the presence of a functional Transformer protein in females limits adipokinetic hormone production and pathway activity.

    Beyond Haldane’s rule: Sex-biased hybrid dysfunction for all modes of sex determination

    Asher D Cutter
    A broad and inclusive view of sex biases in hybrid dysfunction, irrespective of sexual system, expands the reach of Haldane's rule to help characterize the underlying forces and mechanisms responsible for predictable sex biases in evolutionary divergence and speciation.

    GUY1 confers complete female lethality and is a strong candidate for a male-determining factor in Anopheles stephensi

    Frank Criscione, Yumin Qi, Zhijian Tu
    Evidence that the small GUY1 protein is a strong candidate for being a male-determining factor is provided via the establishment of Guy1 transgenic lines of mosquitoes that confer complete and stable female lethality.

    DMRT1 is a testis-determining gene in rabbits and is also essential for female fertility

    Emilie Dujardin, Marjolaine André ... Maëlle Pannetier
    The absence of DMRT1 induces a male-to-female sex reversal in XY rabbits and complete infertility in both sexes.

    Dose-dependent action of the RNA binding protein FOX-1 to relay X-chromosome number and determine C. elegans sex

    Behnom Farboud, Catherine S Novak ... Barbara J Meyer
    RNA binding protein FOX-1 functions as a dose-dependent X-signal element to communicate X-chromosome number and determine nematode sex by controlling alternative non-productive pre-mRNA splicing of the master sex-determination switch gene.

    SNPC-1.3 is a sex-specific transcription factor that drives male piRNA expression in C. elegans

    Charlotte P Choi, Rebecca J Tay ... John K Kim
    snpc-1.3 specifies male piRNA transcription and is regulated by the sex determination pathway.

    Positive selection and relaxed purifying selection contribute to rapid evolution of male-biased genes in a dioecious flowering plant

    Lei Zhao, Wei Zhou ... Hong-Tao Li
    Computational analyses, for the first time in plants, reveal how male-biased genes evolve faster than female-biased and unbiased genes.
