    Citation Excerpt :

    Birds employ the ZZ/ZW system, where females are the heterogametic sex and female sex is determined by a non-recombining W chromosome (Fig. 2). In the mammalian XX/XY system, one of the X chromosomes in the female is mostly inactivated (Huynh and Lee, 2005; Lyon, 1961; Ohno et al., 1959) to compensate for the missing X chromosome in the male as a mechanism for gene dosage compensation (Dementyeva and Zakian, 2010); although X-inactivation escape occurs in specific instances (Souyris et al., 2018; Tukiainen et al., 2017). In mammals, the sex determining SRY gene directs the development of male gonads by encoding a transcription factor that upregulates other transcription factors like SOX9, ultimately leading to the development of the seminiferous tubes that make sperm.
