  • Title: FET-1: a novel W-linked, female specific gene up-regulated in the embryonic chicken ovary.
    Author: Reed KJ, Sinclair AH.
    Journal: Mech Dev; 2002 Dec; 119 Suppl 1():S87-90. PubMed ID: 14516666.
    Abstract:
    A differential expression screen for sex-determining genes in the embryonic chicken gonad revealed a novel gene called Female Expressed Transcript 1 (FET-1). Fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis mapped FET-1 to the female specific W chromosome. Whole mount in situ hybridization showed that FET-1 expression was restricted to females and up-regulated in the cortex of the left gonad during the sex-determining period. Female specific expression was also observed in the embryonic caudal somites, neural tube and waste collection ducts.
