Abstract excerpt
17α-Methyltestosterone (MT) is a widely used androgen for all-male fish production in aquaculture. However, the molecular mechanism underlying MT-induced masculinization remains unclear. In this study, we aim to identify the key gene responsible for MT-induced masculinization using the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) amhy, dmrt1, and gsdf mutants, which exhibit male-to-female sex reversal. Nile tilapia fry...
