Description
A genomic genotype where the genomic background specifies a male or female sex chromosome complement.
Comment
We distinguish the notion of a sex-agnostic intrinsic genotype, which does not specify whether the portion of the genome defining organismal sex is male or female, from the notion of a sex-qualified intrinsic genotype, which does. Male and female mice that contain the same background and genetic variation complement will have the same 'sex-agnostic intrinsic genotype', despite their genomes varying in their sex-chromosome complement. By contrast, these two mice would have different 'sex-qualified intrinsic genotypes', as this class takes background sex chromosome sequences into account in the identity criteria for its instances. Conceptually, a sex-qualified phenotype represents a superset of sequence features relative to a sex-agnostic intirnsic genotype, in that if specifies the background sex-chromosome complement of the genome.
