TLDR
A gene mapping to the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome is deleted in a line of XY female mice mutant for Tdy, and is expressed at a stage during male gonadal development consistent with its having a role in testis determination.
Abstract
A gene mapping to the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome is deleted in a line of XY female mice mutant for Tdy, and is expressed at a stage during male gonadal development consistent with its having a role in testis determination. This gene is a member of a new family of at least five mouse genes, related by an amino-acid motif showing homology to other known or putative DNA-binding domains.

Two genes substitute for the mouse Y chromosome for spermatogenesis and reproduction.

TL;DR: In mice, successful assisted reproduction can be achieved when the Y gene contribution is limited to only two genes, Sry and spermatogonial proliferation factor Eif2s3y, and these findings support the existence of functional redundancy between the Y chromosome genes and their homologs encoded on other chromosomes.

Genetic Influences on Sexual Behavior Differentiation

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the development of sexual behaviors can be independent of genetic sex, and the genotype does play an important role in normal sexual differentiation.

Sox genes in the coral Acropora millepora: divergent expression patterns reflect differences in developmental mechanisms within the Anthozoa

TL;DR: Differences in expression patterns between Acropora and Nematostella largely reflect fundamental differences in developmental processes, underscoring the diversity of mechanisms within the anthozoan Sub-Class Hexacorallia (Zoantharia).

Binding of A/T-rich DNA by three high mobility group-like domains in c-Abl tyrosine kinase.

TL;DR: Observations define a new class of DNA binding domains, the HLBs, which do not bind DNA with a high degree of sequence specificity, but may selectively bind to bent DNA or to sequences that are easier to distort.

Gametogenesis: A journey from inception to conception.

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on critical male and female genetic and epigenetic processes underlying normal gamete formation through their differentiation to fertilization and explores how knowledge gained has contributed to progress in areas with great clinical promise, such as in vitro gametogenesis.

A gene from the human sex-determining region encodes a protein with homology to a conserved DNA-binding motif

TL;DR: A search of a 35-kilobase region of the human Y chromosome necessary for male sex determination has resulted in the identification of a new gene, termed SRY (for sex-determining region Y) and proposed to be a candidate for the elusive testis-d determining gene, TDF.
