Yet they have not fully understood the mechanisms by which it happens. To better grasp the process of the germ cell's sex determination, a research... read full story
"We successfully predicted female-specific potential processes and pathways in chicken primordial germ cells. We believe our data set can significantly contribute to elucidating the avian sex determination mechanism,"
