First report on production of
supermale tilapia by integrating endocrine sex reversal with gynogenetic technique.
Sex-typicality and attractiveness: Are
supermale and superfemale faces super-attractiveness?
YY
supermale generated gynogenetically from XY female in Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (Richardson).
Dos Passos had read Paul Morand's racing story "La Nuit des Six Jours" (The Six-Day Night) and would have mentioned it to Hemingway, perhaps even throwing in a word about Alfred Jarry's novel The
Supermale (1902) which contained an outrageous episode about a 10,000 mile race between a five-seat bicycle and a locomotive.
Exploring the supposed attributes of the "male" and "female" chromosomes (respectively, Y and X) Richardson analyses now-discredited research from the 1970s that focused on the XYY "
supermale," and the ways in which the Y chromosome became a synecdoche for man.
DNA was extracted from adult male ([X.sup.e][Y.sup.f]), neomale ([X.sup.e][X.sup.e]), and
supermale ([Y.sup.f][Y.sup.f]) specimens by treatment with proteinase K, followed by phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation.
Suppose that you were to ask me now to further typify this novel, somewhat in the same fashion as Alfred Jarry when subtitling his various opuses (Faustroll is "A Neo-scientific Novel"; Days and Nights is a "Novel of a Deserter"; Messalina is "A Novel of Imperial Rome"; The
Supermale, is "A Modern Novel"), I would be tempted to write, simply, that it's "A Comic Novel," without that preventing me from asking the question: what sort of laughter are we talking about?
A different kind of face takes place in Alfred Jarry's The
Supermale (1902).
2001.--Developmental biology of the
supermale YY tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): Histogenesis of the reproductive system.
Delicate purple and gold fairy basslets danced with a bright blue and green
supermale wrasse and a southern sting ray flew along the undulating sea floor and then buried himself in the sand.

Supermale: The Sex Machine, the Food Machine, and the Bicycle Race.
