only when the compound capable of tautomerization is in the liquid phase, or in solution. And that is just the case with the free radicals under consideration. 6. The two radicals, a-naphthyl-diphenylmethyl and a-naphthylxanthyl, were found to give a molecular weight less than that calculated for the monomolecular phase. Schlenk and Renning's" results show that a-naphthyl-biphenyl-phenylmethyl ...

The ability to determine the sex of an individual based on DNA evidence can be crucial in instances such as identification of victims of mass disaster, missing persons investigations, and sexual assault cases. The Y chromosome marker amelogenin is currently in widespread use for determination of chromosomal sex of an unknown DNA donor and differentiating the relative contributions of male and f...

Turbot is one of the most important farmed fish in Europe. This species exhibits a considerable sexual dimorphism in growth and sexual maturity that makes the all-female production recommended for turbot farming. Our knowledge about the genetic basis of sex determination and the molecular regulation of gonad differentiation in this species is still limited. Our goal was to identify and compare ...

Background: Determination of sex from the skeletal remains is of vital medicolegal importance for establishing the identity of an individual. Aims: To study the sexual differences in the first sacral vertebra (S1) in middle-aged adults through devising new parameters and indices. Materials and Methods: 100 mid-sagittal MR images of lumbosacral region (50 males "35±6 years" and 50 females "32±6 ...

BACKGROUND Many different environmental and genetic sex-determination mechanisms are found in nature. Closely related species can use different master sex-determination switches, suggesting that these developmental pathways can evolve very rapidly. Previous cytological studies suggest that recently diverged species of stickleback fish have different sex chromosome complements. Here, we investig...

Sex determination refers to the developmental decision that directs the bipotential genital ridge to develop as a testis or an ovary. Genetic studies on mice and humans have led to crucial advances in understanding the molecular fundamentals of sex determination and the mutually antagonistic signaling pathway. In this review, we summarize the current molecular mechanisms of sex determination by...
