Identification and characterization of a male-specific region in largemouth bass (Micropterus Salmoides) by whole-genome sequencing, resequencing and genomics comparison

IntroductionCompared to mammals and birds, sex-determining genes differ in most fish species. Largemouth bass (Micropterus Salmoides) is one of the most important cultured fish species in China, and there are growth differences between males and females. However, its sex-determining genes and mechan...
