Description
Fanwen Zeng and seven co-authors published a 2024 paper on a fast DNA test that tells the sex of many bird species. Many birds look alike as males and females, so laboratories use gene tests instead. Standard tests are slow and need full laboratory equipment, which field workers often lack.
The new method copies a gene fragment found only on the female chromosome of this large bird group. It runs at one steady temperature and finishes in about twenty minutes. The test detected ten times less DNA than the standard method. On real samples from nine species it matched the standard test every time. The authors offer it as an on-site tool for breeding programs and sex-ratio studies.
