Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome P450c17-II (cyp17-II) gene is an important factor affecting the growth, gonad differentiation and development, and other reproductive traits of fish. There are three CpG rich regions in the coding region of cyp17-II gene in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). The aim of this study was to understand whether mutations in exons of the cyp17-II gene occured at CpG sites, and mutations and...
