A major landmark was the discovery in 1990 of the SRY gene and the subsequent demonstration of its key role in triggering male sex determination in transgenic mice. This book reviews and discusses our current understanding of the molecular genetic pathways of sex determination, with special emphasis on vertebrates. It features comparisons with other modes of sex determination, consideration of the biology of sexual development and discussion of the evolution of sex-determining mechanisms. By bringing together an international and interdisciplinary group of experts who study many different aspects of the problem, the book highlights much new and exciting work in this area and serves to identify and stimulate promising new research directions. 606 $aGenetic sex determination$vCongresses 606 $aSex Determination Processes 606 $aPhysiology$2HILCC 606 $aHuman Anatomy & Physiology$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aCongress. 615 0$aGenetic sex determination 615 12$aSex Determination Processes. 615 7$aPhysiology 615 7$aHuman Anatomy & Physiology 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 676 $a571.882 702 $aGoode$b Jamie 702 $aNovartis Foundation 702 $aChadwick$b Derek 712 02$aNovartis Foundation 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910830341803321 996 $aThe genetics and biology of sex determination$94084487 997 $aUNINA
