Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The short-lived African killifish Nothobranchius furzeri lives in seasonal freshwater ponds and has evolved remarkable traits to survive in this limited environment. One of those traits is a genetic XX/XY sex-determination system, which ensures an equal distribution of both sexes. Comparisons of female and male genomic sequences identified the Y-chromosomal copy of the TGF-β family member gdf6...
