Identification of the master sex determining gene in Northern pike (Esox lucius) reveals restricted sex chromosome differentiation.

Identification of the master sex determining gene in Northern pike (Esox lucius) reveals restricted sex chromosome differentiation.

Teleost fishes, thanks to their rapid evolution of sex determination mechanisms, provide remarkable opportunities to study the formation of sex chromosomes and the mechanisms driving the birth of new master sex determining (MSD) genes. However, the evolutionary interplay between the sex chromosomes...
