Abstract excerpt
Accurate genotyping of sex is required for correct interpretation in any in vivo assays with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Visible markers for genotypic sex, if reliable, simplify assays because time-consuming PCR-based genotyping can be skipped. Here, we describe a line of Japanese medaka with a brain-expressed green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene inserted near the sex-determining locus. When used...
