Evolution of the avian sex chromosomes and their role in sex determination

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Is it the female-specific W chromosome of birds that causes the avian embryo to develop a female phenotype, analogous to the dominance mode of genic sex differentiation seen in mammals? Or is it the number of Z chromosomes that triggers male development,

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The sex of an individual is generally determined genetically by genes on one of the two sex chromosomes. In mammals, for instance, the presence of the male-specific Y chromosome confers maleness, whereas in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elega

Microsatellite mutations in the germline: implications for evolutionary inference
- 2000

Ingår i: TRENDS IN GENETICS. - : ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON. ; 16:12, s. 551-558
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Microsatellite DNA sequences mutate at rates several orders of magnitude higher than that of the bulk of DNA. Such high rates mean that spontaneous mutations that form new-length variants can realistically be seen in pedigree analysis. Data on observed mu

New tools for sex identification and the study of sex allocation in birds

Ingår i: TRENDS IN ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION. - : ELSEVIER SCI LTD. ; 12:7, s. 255-259
-
Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The recent development of simple, DNA-based methods for the determination of an individual's sex will make possible large-scale studies of sex allocation and the consequence of gender in birds. Birds provide ideal systems for studying these questions in v
