Male-biased genes in catfish as revealed by RNA-Seq analysis of the testis transcriptome.

BACKGROUND: Catfish has a male-heterogametic (XY) sex determination system, but genes involved in gonadogenesis, spermatogenesis, testicular determination, and sex determination are poorly understood. As a first step of understanding the transcriptome of the testis, here, we conducted RNA-Seq analys...
