Sex gene pathway in C.elegans. A simple depiction of the sex determination gene pathway as it is known today in the soma of C.elegans. The interactions between several groups of gene products that have been observed to have an inhibitory effect on each other follow the switch of xol-1. The result is that several of these proteins remain active only in males only and others only in hermaphrodites.
