## Abstract Pulse pressure (PP) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. PP rises with age, more so in women. We examined sex differences in the correlations and variance components of PP in adult subjects from 767 nuclear families, enriched with those containing twins, from the Vi

In mammals, male sex determination, as well as spermatogenesis, is controlled by genes on the Y chromosome. Evolutionary comparisons may be used to detect and test candidate genes for these functions, under the hypothesis that the rapid evolution of the mammalian Y chromosome causes it to contain fe
Animals have evolved a bewildering diversity of mechanisms to determine the two sexes. Studies of sex determination genes โ their history and function โ in non-model insects and __Drosophila__ have allowed us to begin to understand the generation of sex determination diversity. One common theme from
