School of Molecular and Biomedical Science, The University of Adelaide, Callaghan, Australia
Sex Dev 2:115-27. 2008..In addition we discuss works on the evolution of the complex sex chromosome system in platypus and echidna, which has also significant impact on our general understanding of mammalian sex chromosomes and sex determination...
Sex determination in platypus and echidna: autosomal location of SOX3 confirms the absence of SRY from monotremesM C Wallis
Comparative Genomics Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia
Chromosome Res 15:949-59. 2007..Sex determination in platypus and echidna must therefore depend on another male-determining gene(s) on the Y chromosomes, or on the different dosage of a gene(s) on the X chromosomes...
Mapping platypus SOX genes; autosomal location of SOX9 excludes it from sex determining roleM C Wallis
Comparative Genomics Group, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia
Cytogenet Genome Res 116:232-4. 2007..The autosomal localization of platypus SOX9 in this study contradicts the hypothesis that SOX9 acts as the sex determining switch in platypus...
