This project aims to improve our understanding of gonad formation at the genetic level, using unique approaches that exploit the chicken embryo as a model system. Gonad formation during embryonic life provides an excellent model for studying the genetic control of development. The project plans to use innovative methods to study novel and known gonad-determining genes. The project seeks to make a substantial contribution to our understanding of cell fate decisions, sex determination and gonad development. It also potentially has application to the poultry industry by illuminating those genes and pathways that can be targeted to modulate sex determination in chickens, which is a goal of the industry.

该项目旨在利用利用鸡胚作为模型系统的独特方法来提高我们对遗传水平的性腺形成的理解。胚胎生命期间的性腺形成为研究发展的遗传控制提供了一个极好的模型。该项目计划使用创新方法研究新颖和已知的性腺定义基因。该项目旨在为我们对细胞命运决定，性别决定和性腺发展做出重大贡献。它还通过阐明可以针对鸡的性别确定的那些基因和途径来实现对家禽行业的应用，这是该行业的目标。
