Germ cells in the teleost fish medaka have an inherent feminizing effect

29 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

AUTHOR SUMMARY: Germ cells are the only cells that can transfer genetic materials to the next generation via the sperm or egg. However, recent analyses in teleosts revealed another essential role of germ cells: feminizing the gonads. In our study, medaka mutants in which gametogenesis was blocked at specific stages provides the novel view that the feminizing effect of germ cells occurs in parallel with other...
