## Abstract Cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom), an enzyme that converts testosterone to 17β‐estradiol, is an important mediator of sex determination in teleosts with genetic sex determination (GSD) and temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). We compared the ontogenetic expression of P450ar
## Abstract Banded krait minor (“Bkm”) satellite DNA, originating in the W‐chromosome of the snake __Bungarus fasciatus__, has been found in the genome of diverse eukaryotic species including fruit fly, quail, and horse. Concentrations of Bkm have been found in the presumptive W‐chromosome of snake
Sex determination in egg-laying amniotes may be fundamentally different from that of placental mammals. The mammalian ovary differentiates normally in the absence of estrogen, whereas estrogen seems to be crucial for proper ovarian development in birds, reptiles, and lower vertebrates. Estrogens are
