Comparison of sex determination mechanism of germ cells between birds and fish: Cloning and expression analyses of chicken forkhead box L3‐like gene

Birds harbor specific sex determination and differentiation mechanisms. Although the molecular mechanisms associated with sex determination in somatic cells have been elucidated, those for germ cells remain unclear.
