Identification and functional analysis of a Masculinizer orthologue in Trilocha varians (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae)

We recently showed that the Masculinizer gene (Masc) plays a primary role in sex determination in the lepidopteran model insect Bombyx mori. However, it remains unknown whether this Masc protein‐dependent sex determination system is conserved amongst lepidopteran insects or within the family Bombyci...
