A diverse array of sex determination (SD) mechanisms, encompassing environmental to
genetic, have been found to exist among vertebrates, covering a spectrum from fixed SD …

The discovery of the Sry gene in 1990 triggered a revolution in our understanding of sex
determination. More recently, advances in non-model organisms have been fuelled by the …

Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

Reference is regularly made to the power of new genomic sequencing approaches. Using
powerful technology, however, is not the same as having the necessary power to address a …

Bluehead wrasses undergo dramatic, socially cued female-to-male sex change. We apply
transcriptomic and methylome approaches in this wild coral reef fish to identify the primary …

Vertebrate sex development consists largely of two processes:" sex determination," the initial
bifurcation of sexual identity, and" sex differentiation," which subsequently facilitates …

Sexual fate is no longer seen as an irreversible deterministic switch set during early
embryonic development but as an ongoing battle for primacy between male and female …

Understanding the factors that affect water quality and the ecological services provided by
freshwater ecosystems is an urgent global environmental issue. Predicting how water quality …

Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) are vital regulators of gene networks in mammals.
The involvement of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) as ceRNA in genotypic sex determination …

Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid (GC) in fish and the hormone most directly associated
with stress. Recent research suggests that this hormone may act as a key factor linking …
