> Avian GHD genes and their use in methods for sex identification in birds (R Griffiths and B Tiwari, UK)
Isis Innovation Ltd and the inventors N” WO 96139505. PCT. The invention provides for DNA sequences (introns and exons) encoding two genes located on the Z and W chromosomes of birds. These genes can be used to identify the sex of most birds (Class Aves). In addition, the genes control the sex of the birds, a genetic process which is initiated as an embryo.
