This new publication focuses on the transition from sex determination to sexual differentiation. Due to the fact that most work has been conducted on mice, it is not surprising that many generalisations have developed, even though only some of these apply to all mammals. This special topic issue aims to shed some light on these generalisations. It covers the different mechanisms of sex determination in mice, reptiles and birds.

This publication is recommended for anyone who would like to know more about what directs male and female sexual dimorphisms at molecular, cellular, developmental, physiological and endocrinological levels.
