Abstract

Daphnia produce genetically identical males and females; their sex is determined by environmental conditions. Recently, Kato et al. identified isoform switching events in Daphnia as a gene regulatory mechanism for sex-specific development. This finding uncovers the impact of alternative usage of gene isoforms on this extreme phenotypic plasticity trait.

环境性别决定的分子机制

水蚤能产生基因完全相同的雌雄个体，其性别由环境条件决定。最近，Kato 等人发现水蚤的同工酶转换事件是性别特异性发育的一种基因调控机制。这一发现揭示了基因同工酶的替代使用对这一极端表型可塑性特征的影响。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology. Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
