The signal for 'sex determination in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is the ratio between the number of X chromosomes and the number of sets of autosomes (the X/A ratio). Animals with an X/A ratio of 0.67 (a triploid with two X chromosomes) or less are males. Animals with an X/A ratio of 0.75 or
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
## Abstract The role of genes in the differentiation of the testis and ovary has been extensively studied in the human and the mouse. Despite over a decade of investigations, the precise roles of genes and their interactions in the pathway of sex determination are still unclear. We have chosen to t
