Functional dissection and assembly of a small, newly evolved, W chromosome-specific genomic region of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis. by Caroline M S Cauret, Danielle C Jordan, Lindsey M Kukoly, Sarah R Burton, Emmanuela U Anele, Jacek M Kwiecien, Marie-Theres Gansauge, Sinthu Senthillmohan, Eli Greenbaum, Matthias Meyer, Marko E Horb, Ben J Evans

“…Genetic triggers for sex determination are frequently co-inherited with other linked genes that may also influence one or more sex-specific phenotypes. To better understand how sex-limited regions evolve and function, we studied a small W chromosome-specific region of the frog Xenopus laevis that contains only three genes (dm-w, scan-w, ccdc69-w) and that drives female differentiation. …”
