Large-scale transcriptome sequencing reveals novel expression patterns for key sex-related genes in a sex-changing fish
25 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Teleost fishes exhibit remarkably diverse and plastic sexual developmental patterns. One of the most astonishing is the rapid socially controlled female-to-male (protogynous) sex change observed in bluehead wrasses (Thalassoma bifasciatum). Such functional sex change is widespread in marine fishes, including species of commercial importance, yet its underlying molecular basis remains poorly explored....
