List of genes, primers and relative gene dose ratios (r) between males and females for autosomal control and X-specific genes in five pygopodid species (r = 1 corresponds to autosomal or pseudoautosom
Factors affecting the rate and pattern of the mutational process are being identified for human autosomes, but the same relationships for the male specific portion of the Y chromosome (MSY) are not es
The sex of vertebrates is typically determined genetically, but reptile sex can also be determined by incubation temperature. In some reptiles, temperature interacts with chromosomal genotype to rever
