Conditional knockdown of transformer in sheep blow fly suggests a role in repression of dosage compensation and potential for population suppression.
The transformer (tra) gene is essential for female development in many insect species, including the Australian sheep blow fly, Lucilia cuprina. Sex-specific tra RNA splicing is controlled by Sex lethal (Sxl) in Drosophila melanogaster but is auto-regulated in L. cuprina. Sxl also represses X chromo...
