Sex in Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) is principally determined by an XX/XY locus but other genetic and environmental factors also influence sex ratio. Restriction Associated DNA (RAD) sequencing was used in two families derived from crossing XY males with females from an isogenic clonal line,...

BACKGROUND: Fish species often exhibit significant sexual dimorphism for commercially important traits. Accordingly, the control of phenotypic sex, and in particular the production of monosex cultures, is of particular interest to the aquaculture industry. Sex determination in the widely farmed Nile...

We know from human genetic studies that practically all aspects of biology are strongly influenced by the genetic background, as reflected in the advent of "personalized medicine." Yet, with few exceptions, this is not taken into account when using laboratory populations as animal model systems for ...

BACKGROUND: The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third most important freshwater fish for aquaculture. Its success is directly linked to continuous breeding efforts focusing on production traits such as growth rate and weight. Among those elite strains, the Genetically Improved Farmed Til...

Abstract The zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) is a model vertebrate widely used to study disease, development and other aspects of vertebrate biology. Most of the research is performed on laboratory strains, one of which has been fully sequenced in order to derive a reference genome. It is known that the l...
