ddRADseq reveals determinants for temperature-dependent sex reversal in Nile tilapia on LG23

Abstract Background In Nile tilapia sex determination is governed by a male heterogametic system XX/XY either on LG1 or LG23. The latter carries a Y-specific duplicate of the amh gene, which is a testis-determining factor. Allelic variants in the amh gene demonstrated to be major triggers for autoso...
