Identification of sex-specific markers using genome re-sequencing in the blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) is an important economic freshwater fish in China with tender flesh and high nutritional value. With the cultivation of superior new varieties and the expansion of breeding scale, it becomes imperative to employ sex-control technology to cultivate monosexual populations of M. amblycephala, thereby preventing the deterioration of desirable traits. The development of specific markers capable of accurately identifying the sex of M. amblycephala would facilitate the determination of the genetic sex of the breeding population before gonad maturation, thereby expediting the processes of sex-controlled breeding of M. amblycephala.

Results

A whole-genome re-sequencing was performed for 116 females and 141 males M. amblyceph
