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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Y chromosomes underlie sex determination in mammals, but their repeat-rich nature has
hampered sequencing and associated evolutionary studies. Here we trace Y evolution …

Males and females often differ in their fitness optima for shared traits that have a shared
genetic basis, leading to sexual conflict. Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

Aquaculture has made an enormous contribution to the world food production, especially to
the sustainable supply of animal proteins. The utility of diverse reproduction strategies in …

Heterogametic sex chromosomes have evolved independently in various lineages of
vertebrates. Such sex chromosome pairs often contain nonrecombining regions, with one of …
