Sex linkage of malic enzyme in Xenopus laevis.

Graf JD.


???displayArticle.abstract???
Genetic analysis of mME variants (mitochondrial malic enzyme, E.C. 1.1.1.40) in Xenopus laevis revealed sex linkage of the mMe locus and indicated a WZ/ZZ type of sex determination. Codominant mMe alleles occur on both W and Z chromosomes, with a recombination frequency of 6.1% +/- 1.5% between mMe and the sex-determining locus (or region).
