Supplemental data files: XY sex determination in a cnidarian

<p><strong>Project Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Sex determination occurs across animal species, but most of our knowledge about the mechanisms of sex determination comes from only a handful of bilaterian taxa. This limits our ability to infer the evolutionary history of sex determination within animals. In this study, we generated a linkage map of the genome of the colonial cnidarian <em>Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus</em> and used this map to determine that this species has an XX/XY sex determination system. We delineate the pseudoautosomal and non-recombining regions of the Y chromosome and show that the latter encodes a number of genes with male gonad-specific expression. These findings establish Hydractinia as a tractable non-bilaterian model system for the study of sex determination.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This archive contains supplemental data files for &quot;XY sex determination in a cnidarian&quot; by Chen et. al.
