Identification of sex specific DNA regions in the snake genome using a subtractive hybridisation technique

Karyotypic studies have shown that a ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system is used by snakes, which chromosomally resembles the ZZ/ZW system used by birds. However genetic studies have shown that SOX 3; the sex determining gene in mammals and DMRT1; which is the hypothesised sex determining gene in birds, are...
