Sox5 is involved in germ-cell regulation and sex determination in medaka following co-option of nested transposable elements

Abstract Background Sex determination relies on a hierarchically structured network of genes, and is one of the most plastic processes in evolution. The evolution of sex-determining genes within a network, by neo- or sub-functionalization, also requires the regulatory landscape to be rewired to acco...
