Direct Full-Length RNA Sequencing Reveals an Important Role of Epigenetics During Sexual Reversal in Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle

Sex dimorphism is a key feature of Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis). The males (M) have higher econosmic value than females (F) due to wider calipash and faster growth. Exogenous hormones like estradiol and methyltestosterone can induce sexual reversal to form new phenotypes (pseudo...
