Abstract

In Drosophila melanogaster both sex determination and dosage compensation are governed by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to sets of autosomes. We propose a mechanism by which this ratio can be measured at the cellular level. The mechanism helps in understanding the effects of, and interactions among, mutants affecting the processes of sex determination and dosage compensation.
