Dosage compensation is less effective in birds than in mammals (2007)

Itoh, Yuichiro, Melamed, Esther, Yang, Xia, Kampf, Kathy, Wang, Susanna, Yehya, Nadir, ...

Abstract Background In animals with heteromorphic sex chromosomes, dosage compensation of sex-chromosome genes is thought to be critical for species survival. Diverse molecular mechanisms have...

Wpkci, Encoding an Altered Form of PKCI, Is Conserved Widely on the Avian W Chromosome and Expressed in Early Female Embryos: Implication of Its Role in Female Sex Determination

Hori, Tetsuya, Asakawa, Shuichi, Itoh, Yuichiro, Shimizu, Nobuyoshi, Mizuno, Shigeki

Two W chromosome–linked cDNA clones, p5fm2 and p5fm3, were obtained from a subtracted (female minus male) cDNA library prepared from a mixture of undifferentiated gonads and mesonephroi of male or...

Sexually dimorphic expression of trkB, a Z-linked gene, in early posthatch zebra finch brain

Chen, Xuqi, Agate, Robert J., Itoh, Yuichiro, Arnold, Arthur P.

Sexual differentiation of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) neural song circuit is thought to be initiated by sex differences in sex chromosome gene expression in brain cells. One theory is that...
