Functional comparison of three transformer gene introns regulating conditional female lethality. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Interpretive Summary: The trasformer gene plays a critical role in the sex determination pathways of many insects. We cloned two transformer gene introns from Anastrepha suspensa, the Caribbean fruit fly. These introns have sequences that putatively have a role in sex-specific splicing patterns that affect sex determination in flies. The two sequences are reported under the Accession Numbers HM363510 and HM363511. Technical Abstract: The trasformer gene plays a critical role in the sex determination pathways of many insects.
