Expression of Sry-related genes in the developing genital ridge/mesonephros of the chick embryo

J Reprod Fertil. 1997 Jan;109(1):59-63. doi: 10.1530/jrf.0.1090059.

Abstract

A reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction approach was used in an attempt to identify a chick homologue to Sry. Gene transcripts from the genital ridge were analysed at the stage of development at which the expression of such a gene might be expected. A number of Sry-related genes expressed in the developing genital ridge of the chick were identified.
