Abstract excerpt
Sex determination systems in teleost fishes are highly diverse, and even closely related species often evolve different mechanisms. Although hybridisation among Eurasian minnows (Phoxinus: Cypriniformes, Leuciscidae) is well documented, their sex determination systems remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the genetic basis of sex determination in Phoxinus phoxinus and Phoxinus csikii using whole-genome...
