Although SRY was first identified 10 years ago, we still know remarkably little about its mode of action or downstream target genes. Recently, potential protein partners have been identified and there has been considerable activity to understand the roles of WT1, SF-1, DAX-1 and SOX9 in gonadogenesi

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
