β¦ Synopsis
We present evidence that the inbred mouse strain C57BL16J (B6) differs from Mus domesticus (DOM) at a locus involved in gonad determination and development as well as at the testis-determining locus on the Y chromosome (Tdy). This newly identified gene is named testis-determining, autosomal-1 (tda-1). Although the inheritance of tda-1 suggests i t is located on an autosome, its location on the X and Y chromosome in their pairing-recombination region is not excluded. When mice are homozygous for the C57BLi6Jderived tda-1 allele (tda-lB6) and carry the Y chromosome from M domesticus, they develop as true hermaphrodites or, more rarely, as females. In contrast, when they are homozygous Tda-lDoM/Tda-lDoM or heterozygous Tda-lDoM/

## Abstract Allophenic mice have been produced by combining embryos from normal albino mice with embryos of normally pigmented mice carrying the autosomal dominant for sex reversed (Sxr) in order to determine the ability of XXSxr cells to differentiated either into sperm or eggs. Sixteen male and s
The single-active-X hypothesis states that in any mammal with more than one X chromosome per cell, only one X is active in each cell. The hypothesis furrher states that X-chromosome differentiation occurs randomly in each cell early in development and subsequently is stable. The phenotype of a mamma
The sex-determining gene SRY was screened for molecular alteration in an XY sex-reversed female by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique. An A-to-G transition was detected which leads to an exchange of a tyrosine by a cysteine in the SRY protein. The affected tyrosine residue loca
