Multiple doublesex-related genes specify critical cell fates in a C. elegans male neural circuit.
In most animal species, males and females exhibit differences in behavior and morphology that relate to their respective roles in reproduction. DM (Doublesex/MAB-3) domain transcription factors are phylogenetically conserved regulators of sexual development. They are thought to establish sexual trai...
