Article Synopsis
- In birds, sex is genetically determined, but the specific molecular mechanisms are not fully understood, particularly around the Z sex chromosome (chrZ).
- The study analyzes transcriptional activities of male and female fibroblast cells from seven bird species, revealing that about 75% of chrZ genes show dosage compensation, similar to the mammalian X chromosome.
- Additionally, the research identifies RPS6 as a conserved sex-dimorphic gene among birds and provides a complete list of chrZ genes that do not exhibit compensation.
