Resumen:
1. A polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR)-based test was adapted to sex the lesser rhea.Feathers instead of blood were used as the source of DNA.2. The primers used allowed the assignment of sex by amplification of Z and W chromosome linkedsequences.3. This method proved to be safe, accurate and non-invasive.4. The W chromosome linked fragment was sequenced and compared to other ratite sequences.
