Prediction of sex-determination mechanisms in avian primordial germ cells using RNA-seq analysis

Abstract In birds, sex is determined through cell-autonomous mechanisms and various factors, such as the dosage of DMRT1. While the sex-determination mechanism in gonads is well known, the mechanism in germ cells remains unclear. In this study, we explored the gene expression profiles of male and fe...
