Genomic characterization of sex‐identification markers in Sebastes carnatus and Sebastes chrysomelas rockfishes
BLS Fowler, VP Buonaccorsi - Molecular Ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Fish have evolved a variety of sex‐determining (SD) systems including male heterogamy

A single locus regulates a female-limited color pattern polymorphism in a reptile
Animal coloration is often expressed in periodic patterns that can arise from differential cell
migration, yet how these processes are regulated remains elusive. We show that a female …
