Teleost fish, which roughly make up half of the extant vertebrate species, exhibit an amazing
level of biodiversity affecting their morphology, ecology and behaviour as well as many other …

Gonadal steroidogenesis is pivotal to synchronize various reproductive stages including
sexual development, growth and maturation. In all vertebrates including teleost …

To further elucidate the roles of germ cells in the sex differentiation of gonads, we have used
the medaka, a teleost fish, to generate mutants that lack germ cells from the onset of …

Simple Summary The fate of the gonad in teleost is influenced by various factors, including
genetics and external factors. Several species-specific genes and environmental factors …

Birds, reptiles, amphibia and fish have an enormous variety of chromosomal sex
determination mechanisms that apparently do not follow any phylogenetic or taxonomic …

A plethora of corroborative genetic studies led to the view that, across the animal kingdom,
the gene‐regulatory cascades triggering sexual development bear little resemblance to …

In contrast to the rather stable regulatory regimes established over more that 100 million
years in birds and mammals, sex determination in fish might frequently undergo evolutionary …

The Dmrt genes encode a large family of transcription factors whose function in sexual
development has been well studied in invertebrates and vertebrates. Their expression …

In contrast to mammals, teleost fish have a very labile genetic sex determination. Sex
differentiation is influenced by a combination of hormonal, social and environmental factors …

To better understand the effects of DNA methylation on the expression patterns of dmrt1
(Doublesex and Mab‐3‐related transcription factor 1) and cyp19a (Cytochrome P450 19a) …
