abstract：:Sexual identity in Drosophila is determined by zygotic X-chromosome dose. Two potent indicators of X-chromosome dose are sisterless-a (sis-a) and sisterless-b (sis-b). Genetic analysis has shown that a diplo-X dose of these genes activates their regulatory target, the feminizing switch gene Sex-lethal (Sxl), whereas a...
