Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dmrt I is a highly conserved gene involved in the determination and early differentiation phase of the primordial gonad in vertebrates. In the fish medaka dmrt I bY, a functional duplicate of the autosomal dmrt I a gene on the Y-chromosome, has been shown to be the master regulator of male gonadal development, comparable to Sry in mammals. In males mRNA and protein expression was observed before...
