Environmental Sex Determination in the Branchiopod Crustacean Daphnia magna: Deep Conservation of a Doublesex Gene in the Sex-Determining Pathway
Sex-determining mechanisms are diverse among animal lineages and can be broadly divided into two major categories: genetic and environmental. In contrast to genetic sex determination (GSD), little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying environmental sex determination (ESD). The Doublesex (Dsx) genes play an important role in controlling sexual dimorphism in genetic sex-determining o...
متن کاملEvolution of Sex - Biased Expression in Caenorhabditis
Title of Document: EVOLUTION OF SEX-BIASED EXPRESSION IN CAENORHABDITIS Cristel G. Thomas, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Associate Professor Eric S. Haag, Department of Biology Mating systems have a profound impact on genome structure evolution, both indirectly through their effects on population genetics and directly due to the genetic control of reproductive traits. Most extant Caen...
متن کاملEnvironmental sex determination in reptiles
In recent years, representatives of more than 40 families of reptiles have been studied to understand how environmental parameters affect sex determination. In this review, we summarise the distribution and taxonomic pattern of sex determining mechanisms, outline the main hypotheses of the adaptive significance of temperature sex determination (TSD), and of skewed population sex ratios. We also...
متن کاملDe Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Sex-Biased Gene Expression in the Cyclical Parthenogenetic Daphnia galeata
Daphnia species have become models for ecological genomics and exhibit interesting features, such as high phenotypic plasticity and a densely packed genome with many lineage-specific genes. They are also cyclic parthenogenetic, with alternating asexual and sexual cycles and environmental sex determination. Here, we present a de novo transcriptome assembly of over 32,000 D. galeata genes and use...
متن کاملPatterns of synonymous codon usage in Drosophila melanogaster genes with sex-biased expression.
The nonrandom use of synonymous codons (codon bias) is a well-established phenomenon in Drosophila. Recent reports suggest that levels of codon bias differ among genes that are differentially expressed between the sexes, with male-expressed genes showing less codon bias than female-expressed genes. To examine the relationship between sex-biased gene expression and level of codon bias on a genom...
