Abstract:
Gene expressions are sex-specific in the sex development of mammals. Different genes express in different phases and tend to change with the time. The functions of some genes, such as SRY, SOX9, SOX8, DAX1, and FGF9, have already been defined in male gonadal morphogenesis. This paper presents a review of the genes involved in the formation of the male gonad in mammals.
