Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptor (ERalpha) modifies the expression of genes involved in cell growth, proliferation and differentiation through binding to estrogen response elements (EREs) located in a number of gene promoters, so the ERalpha gene is considered as an important factor affecting reproductive endocrinology in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). In this study, twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
