Figures & data
Figure 1. A female-producing temperature (31°C) increases expression of the CIRBP A allele, but not the CIRBP C allele in bipotential gonads of snapping turtle embryos. In response to brief exposure to 31°C, AA homozygotes have higher CIRBP expression and are 4x more likely to develop ovaries than are AC heterozygotes and 16x more likely to develop ovaries than are CC homozygotes.
