Expression and phylogeny of candidate genes for sex differentiation in a primitive fish species, the Siberian sturgeon, <i>Acipenser baerii</i>
22 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanisms underlying testis differentiation in basal actinopterygian fish remains poorly understood. The sex differentiation period was investigated in the Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii, by expression profiling of Sertoli cell transcription factors (dmrt1, sox9) that control testis differentiation in vertebrates; Leydig cell factors (cyp17a1, star) affecting androgen production; the androgen...
