The Sex Determination Gene transformer Regulates Male-Female Differences in Drosophila Body Size.
Almost all animals show sex differences in body size. For example, in Drosophila, females are larger than males. Although Drosophila is widely used as a model to study growth, the mechanisms underlying this male-female difference in size remain unclear. Here, we describe a novel role for the sex det...
