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 …

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

Teleost fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates and provide opportunities to study the
evolution of sex determination (SD) systems. Using genomic and functional analyses, we …

Assembly of a complete Y chromosome is a significant challenge in animals with an XX/XY
sex-determination system. Recently, we created YY-supermale yellow catfish by crossing XY …

Sex chromosomes display remarkable diversity and variability among vertebrates.
Compared with research on the X/Y and Z/W chromosomes, which have long evolutionary …

Recent studies have revealed a surprising diversity of sex chromosomes in vertebrates.
However, the detailed mechanism of their turnover is still elusive. To understand this …

Population-scale genome modification can alter the composition or fate of wild populations.
Synthetic gene drives provide one set of tools, but their use is complicated by scientific …

It is often stated that polymorphisms for mutations affecting fitness of males and females in
opposite directions [sexually antagonistic (SA) polymorphisms] are the main selective force …

Teleosts are important models to study sex chromosomes and sex-determining (SD) genes
because they present a variety of sex determination systems. Here, we used Nanopore and …

Tilapias are one of the most farmed fishes that are coined as “aquatic chicken” by the food
industry. Nile tilapia and blue tilapia exhibit very recent transition of sex chromosome …
