  • Title: Sex determination: a worm does it by elimination.
    Author: Charlesworth B.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2010 Oct 12; 20(19):R841-3. PubMed ID: 20937468.
    Abstract:
    Parasitic nematode worms of the genus Strongyloides have an alternation of many asexual, all-female generations with a sexual generation composed of males and females. Males of S. papillosus have now been shown to be produced by elimination of chromosomal material that constitutes the X chromosome in its close relatives.
