… In males, absence of TRA causes male-specific splicing and the production of a DSX M … M
factor prevents this activation (Fig. 7). It is conceivable that Cctra is a direct target of the M factor…

… As “ρ” is expressed in Kg/m 3 and “v” is expressed in m/s, Z is expressed in Kg/m 2 s. Human
tissues are not homogeneous in terms of composition. Table 3 shows approximate densities…

Background The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata, is a major destructive
insect pest due to its broad host range, which includes hundreds of fruits and vegetables. It …

… In XY fertilized eggs, Cctra autoregulation is impaired by the male determining M factor.
The M factor could prevent the action of maternal CcTRA and/or CcTRA-2 proteins, leading to …

… We conducted the search for this M factor by: (i) focusing on transcripts in the 4 to 8 hours …
M factors in another Tephritidae, the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae. We identified 19 M …

The eukaryotic transcriptome is composed of thousands of coding and long non-coding RNAs
(lncRNAs). However, we lack a software platform to identify both RNA classes in a given …

In the tephritids Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera oleae, the gene transformer acts as the
memory device for sex determination, via an auto-regulatory function; and functional Tra protein …

… in Aedes aegypti in which the male-determining factor M acts directly or indirectly either
to activate a downstream SR-M factor or to encode the SR-M itself or finally to inhibit an SR-F …

The Mediterranean fruitfly Ceratitis capitata (medfly) is an invasive agricultural pest of high
economic impact and has become an emerging model for developing new genetic control …

Courtship behaviours are common features of animal species that reproduce sexually.
Typically, males are involved in courting females. Insects display an astonishing variety of …
