Isolation of Doublesex- and Mab-3-Related Transcription Factor 6 and Its Involvement in Spermatogenesis in Tilapia1
16 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The dmrt6 gene has been isolated from tetrapods and recently from a coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae. Its evolutionary history and exact function remain unclear. In the present study, dmrt6 was isolated from Perciformes (five cichlids and stickleback), Siluriformes (southern catfish), and Lepisosteiformes (spotted gar). Syntenic and phylogenetic analyses indicated that dmrt6 experienced gene transposition after...
