Roles of Two Sox9 Genes during Gonadal Development in Japanese Flounder: Sex Differentiation, Spermatogenesis and Gonadal Function Maintenance

Roles of Two Sox9 Genes during Gonadal Development in Japanese Flounder: Sex Differentiation, Spermatogenesis and Gonadal Function Maintenance

The transcription factor sox9 has been implicated in cartilage formation and testis determination in mammals. Here, two duplicates of sox9 were found in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) named Posox9a and Posox9b, respectively. Phylogenetic and gene structure analyses revealed that Posox9a...
