Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Whole genome duplication is a useful genetic tool because it allows immediate and complete genetic homozygosity in gynogenetic offspring. A whole genome duplication method in zebrafish, Heat Shock, involves a heat pulse in the period 13-15 min postfertilization (mpf) to inhibit cytokinesis of the first mitotic cycle. However, Heat Shock produces a relatively low yield of gynogenotes. RESULTS: A heat...
