Human sex determination is a fascinating topic, particularly at the level of molecular genetics, as it represents an excellent paradigm for mammalian organ development. Recent progress has seen the addition of several new pieces to this developmental jigsaw puzzle. In mammals, the Y chromosome is ma
The classical conception of the chromosomal mechanism of sex determination presumes a chromosome unique for and determining the heterogametic sex. On the basis of recent evidence, however, this picture is becoming increasingly complex, with a multitude of genes appearing to interact simultaneously o
A method for determining the sex of human skeletons was developed using molecular genetic techniques. The amelogenin gene, found on the X and Y chromosomes, was examined using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a nonradioactive dot blot procedure. DNA was analyzed from 20 modern individuals of
Analysis of 12 prehistoric human paleofecal specimens from the Mammoth Cave System, Kentucky has produced the first estimate of biological sex using fecal material from ancient humans. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating indicates that the specimens range in age from ca. 2700 B.P.
