Fig. 8From: Identification and functional analyses of sex determination genes in the sexually dimorphic stag beetle Cyclommatus metallifer Predicted gene models for Cmdsx gene. In addition to the previously reported four splice variants (corresponding to isoforms A to D), we identified 16 new splice variants of dsx in Cyclommatus metallifer. We updated the exon number from those reported in Gotoh et al. (2014). Exon 8 and exon 9 were divided into 8a, 8b and 9a, 9b, respectively (green bars and numbers). Also, five new exons were named (exon 10 to exon 14; red bars and numbers). Coding sequences are indicated in gray, arrows indicate forward and reverse primer locations for RT-PCRBack to article page
