In sole aquaculture production, consistency in the quality of produced eggs throughout the year is unpredictable. <i>Hox</i> genes have a crucial role in controlling embryonic development and their genetic variation could alter the phenotype dramatically. In teleosts genome duplication led paralog <i>hox</i> genes to become diverged. Direct association of polymorphism in <i>hoxa1a</i>, <i>hoxa2a</i> & <i>hoxa2b</i> of <i>Solea solea</i> with egg viability indicates <i>hoxa2b</i> as a potential g ...[more]
