A major landmark was the discovery in 1990 of the \u003ci\u003eSRY\u003c\/i\u003e gene and the subsequent demonstration of its key role in triggering male sex determination in transgenic mice. \u003cp\u003eThis book reviews and discusses our current understanding of the molecular genetic pathways of sex determination, with special emphasis on vertebrates. It features comparisons with other modes of sex determination, consideration of the biology of sexual development and discussion of the evolution of sex-determining mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy bringing together an international and interdisciplinary group of experts who study many different aspects of the problem, the book highlights much new and exciting work in this area and serves to identify and stimulate promising new research directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek J.
