MicroRNA (miRNA) cloning analysis reveals sex differences in miRNA expression profiles between adult mouse testis and ovary.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding small RNAs that can regulate the expression of complementary mRNA targets. Identifying tissue-specific miRNAs is the first step toward understanding the biological functions of miRNAs, which include the regulation of tissue differentiation and the maintenance of tissue identity. In this study, we performed small RNA library sequencing in adult mouse ...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent sex determination of Ascension Island green turtles
We examined the role played by temperature in the duration of incubation and sex ratio of green turtle hatchlings at Ascension Island, one of the most important green turtle rookeries in the Atlantic. Temperature at control sites at nest depth and in 39 green turtle nests was measured using small temperature recording devices. The sex ratio of hatchlings was ascertained in a sub-sample of monit...
متن کاملLymphoid aggregates in gonads of embryos, hatchlings, and young of turtles with temperature-dependent sex determination.
Cellular infiltrations forming lymphoid-like aggregates were previously observed in gonads of two turtle species exhibiting temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD): at hatching in Chelydra serpentina; at and after hatching in Emys orbicularis. We show here that such aggregates are also present in gonads of Testudo graeca by the end of embryonic development, suggesting that their occurrenc...
متن کاملEvolution of the gene network underlying gonadogenesis in turtles with temperature-dependent and genotypic sex determination.
The evolution of sex determination has long fascinated biologists, as it has paramount consequences for the evolution of a multitude of traits, from sex allocation to speciation and extinction. Explaining the diversity of sex-determining systems found in vertebrates (genotypic or GSD and temperature-dependent or TSD) requires a comprehensive and integrative examination from both a functional an...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent sex determination
Reptiles posses two main mechanisms of sex determination. In some species the sex of the individual is determined at conception by sex factors contained in sex chromosomes (termed genotypic sex determination or GSD). However, in other species sex is determined after conception by the environmental temperature during incubation and cannot be predicted by zygotic genotype (Bull, 1983; Valenzuela ...
