Primary sex determination pathway-related genes detected in E. sinensis transcriptomes. (a) Sex determination pathways in Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans and chicken. Active gene products and gene interactions are in bold and marked with ‘ON’, whereas the inactive ones are in gray and marked with ‘OFF’. The orthologs identified from E. sinensis transcriptomes are enclosed in red frames. The pathways are modified based on Hansen and Pilgrim (1999), Chue and Smith (2011) and Kopp (2012). Sxl, sex-lethal; tra, transformer; dsx, double sex; fru, fruitless; xol, XO-lethal; sdc, sex and dosage compensation; her, hermaphroditization; fem, feminization; Foxl2, forkhead box protein L2; Rspo1, R-spondin-1; Wnt4, wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 4. (b) Expression levels of the identified orthologs of sex determination genes at different developmental stages of E. sinensis: Z1, Z5, M, J1, J3F and J3M. A full color version of this figure is available at the Heredity journal online.
