Heritable artificial sex chromosomes in medaka: a leap towards real-time observation of sex chromosome evolution

Researchers in Japan have developed a more practicable alternative to time travel by creating the first vertebrate heritable artificial sex chromosomes in the medaka, Oryzias latipes (Otake et al., 2010). In doing so, they open a new and exciting chapter in sex chromosome research.
