Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of sexual differentiation in D. melanogaster via alternative splicing of RNA from the transformer gene
TL;DR: A mechanism by which Sex-lethal controls itself and tra is suggested, which leads to female-specific differentiation of otherwise tra-females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resolving mechanisms of competitive fertilization success in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: Sperm showed more mobility within the female storage organs than expected, with those from the most recent copulation displacing sperm from previous males; however, sperm viability remained consistent over long-term storage and each male's sperm was equally competitive in fertilizing the female's eggs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-specific alternative splicing of RNA from the transformer gene results from sequence-dependent splice site blockage
TL;DR: Results are consistent with a model in which female-specific factors block the function of the non-sex-specific 3' splice site, and eliminate Sex-lethal-induced regulation of RNA from the Drosophila transformer gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
The control of alternative splicing at genes regulating sexual differentiation in D. melanogaster
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the genes suggested by genetic studies to act upstream of tra or dsx in the sex determination hierarchy regulate these two loci at the level of RNA processing.
