Hidden DNA fragment the ‘trigger switch’ for male development: Biology textbooks may need to be re-written, with scientists finding a new piece of DNA essential to forming male sex organs in mice – Science Daily

Biology textbooks may need to be re-written, with scientists finding a new piece of DNA essential to forming male sex organs in mice.An international research collaboration with The University of Queensland found the Y-chromosome gene that makes mice male is made up of two different DNA parts, not one, as scientists had previously assumed.
UQ’s Institute of Molecular Biosciences Emeritus Professor Peter Koopman said the critical DNA fragment had been hidden from researchers for more than 30 yea…
