Sexual reproduction is prevalent across diverse taxa. However, sex-determination
mechanisms are so diverse that even closely related species often differ in sex …

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 …

This article provides recommendations for the care of laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio) as
part of the further implementation of Annex A to the European Convention on the protection …

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 …

Genomic analysis of many nonmodel species has uncovered an incredible diversity of sex
chromosome systems, making it possible to empirically test the rich body of evolutionary …

Variation in the TGF-β signaling pathway is emerging as an important mechanism by which
gonadal sex determination is controlled in teleosts. Here we show that amhy, a Y-specific …

The dmrt1 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1) gene is a key regulator of
sex determination and/or gonadal sex differentiation across metazoan animals. This is …

Zebrafish are an established research organism that has made many contributions to our
understanding of vertebrate tissue and organ development, yet there are still significant …

Introgression of farmed salmon escapees into wild stocks is a major threat to the genetic
integrity of wild populations. Using germ cell-free fish in aquaculture may mitigate this …
