Genome editing reveals fitness effects of a gene for sexual dichromatism in Sulawesian fishes
The mutations underlying sexually selected traits like the red fins on a male medaka fish can be hard to pinpoint. Using a new genome, transcriptomics and gene editing, Ansai et al. find that the gene csf1 causes male fins to be red, which attracts females and, surprisingly, is less attractive to pr...
