Evaluating the roles of testosterone and sex-linked genes in territorial aggression of sex-reversed XY females in the African pygmy mouse

Louise D. Heitzmann, Julie Pérez, Romann Charbonnier…·Frédéric Veyrunes

This study investigates the molecular basis of territorial aggression in sex-reversed XY females of the African pygmy mouse, finding no correlation between aggression and testosterone or gene expression, but suggesting dopaminergic and oxytocin pathways may be involved.

Influence of gonadal and chromosomal sex on the brain transcriptome in a mouse species with natural sex reversal

Louise D. Heitzmann, Paul A. Saunders, Julie Pérez…·Frédéric Veyrunes

The paper compares brain transcriptomes of four sexual genotypes in African pygmy mice to show that both gonadal and chromosomal sex influence gene expression, with X*Y females showing unique patterns linked to sex-linked genes.
