Improved genome assembly of American alligator genome reveals conserved architecture of estrogen signaling

Abstract: The American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, like all crocodilians, has temperature-dependent sex determination, in which the sex of an embryo is determined by the incubation temperature of the egg during a critical period of development. The lack of genetic differences between male and female alligators leaves open the question of how the genes responsible for sex determination and differentiation are regulated. Insight into this question comes from the fact that exposing an embryo incubated at male-pr… Show more

“…1 ). Crocodilians exhibit a relatively high genomic TE prevalence, suggesting their genomes are more similar to the ancestral genomic TE landscape of reptiles [Wan et al, 2013;Green et al, 2014;Rice et al, 2017]. In contrast, at some point during evolution of the dinosaur lineage, genomic TE content became less prevalent [Organ et al, 2007].…”
