## Abstract To test the hypothesis that the same (or similar) genes may be involved in chromosomal sex determination and temperature dependent sex determination we investigated the expression of the mammalian testis determining gene __SRY__ in the American alligator __(Alligator mississippiensis)__

## Abstract Summary: During vertebrate development the gonad has two possible fates, the testis or the ovary. The choice between these fates is made by a variety of sexโdetermining mechanisms, from the sexโdetermining gene on the Y chromosome (__Sry__) in mammals, to nongenetic temperatureโdependen
## Abstract The leopard gecko, __Eublepharis macularius__, has temperatureโdependent sex determination (TSD). Previous reports have shown that females are produced predominately at cool incubation temperatures and males are produced predominately at warm incubation temperatures (Pattern Ib). We rep
