Genetic code of the European green toad reveals a sex determination locus

Researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and the National University of Singapore have identified a gene locus responsible for sex determination in the European green toad. This reveals only the second known genetic mechanism for sex differentiation in amphibians. The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and the National University of Singapore have identified a gene locus responsible for sex determination in the European green toad.
