Male development of an XX mouse transgenic for the Sry gene

Clinical observations and experimental evidence
indicate that the presence of SRY induces
male development, irrespective of the presence
of the remainder of the Y chromosome. A chromosomally
female transgenic mouse (XX)
shows normal male development after the 14
kb DNA fragment carrying the Sry region of a
mouse Y chromosome is implanted into its
blastocyst.
