Teleost fishes are the most species-rich clade of vertebrates and feature an overwhelming
diversity of sex-determining mechanisms, classically grouped into environmental and …

Sexual dimorphism is one of the most prevalent, and often the most extreme, examples of
phenotypic variation within species, and arises primarily from genomic variation that is …

Background Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is one of the most important aquaculture
species of Cyprinidae with an annual global production of 3.4 million tons, accounting for …

Sexually dimorphic phenotypes are thought to largely result from sex differences in gene
expression, and genes with sex-biased expression have been well characterized in adults of …

Abstract Introduction Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) is economically significant
important for offshore cage aquaculture in China and Southeast Asian countries. Lack of …

DNA methylation involved in sex determination mechanism by regulating gene expression
related to sex determination networks are common in vertebrates. However, the mechanism …

Background Catfish has a male-heterogametic (XY) sex determination system, but genes
involved in gonadogenesis, spermatogenesis, testicular determination, and sex …

Explaining the diversity of vertebrate sex‐determining mechanisms ranging from genotypic
(GSD) to temperature‐dependent (TSD) remains a developmental and evolutionary …

Understanding gonadal development in lampreys is complicated by their complex life cycle,
the long period during which their gonads remain histologically undifferentiated, and their …

Sex-biased genes are considered to account for most of phenotypic differences between
males and females. In order to explore the sex-biased gene expression in crab, we …
