Dispatch on sex determination and dosage compensation

In the current issue of Current Biology, Max has written a dispatch on the importance of finding that the femaleless (fle) gene is essential for development and dosage compensation inhibition in females in the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae. In the article, Max places the fle study into a broader context of what is currently known about the sex determination and dosage compensation regulatory hierarchies in Diptera.
