Article Synopsis
- The sea cucumber is a vital species in Chinese aquaculture, but the mechanisms behind its sex determination are not well understood.
- This study analyzed sex-related genetic variations in several wild populations, indicating that sea cucumbers use a polygenic sex determination system with the SLC8A gene as a candidate for determining sex.
- Researchers identified specific male-related genetic markers and significant chromosomal variations, suggesting a complex, multi-gene approach to sex determination rather than the typical XX/XY model.
