Article Synopsis
- Silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) is a key freshwater fish species in Thailand, ranking fourth in economic value and third in production weight for fisheries.
- This study investigates the molecular basis of the fish's XX/XY sex-determination system, finding 63 male-linked loci that suggest the presence of a young and cryptic Y chromosome.
- The research identifies potential regions for sex determination and highlights the transposable elements linked to these loci, providing valuable data for future genetic improvements to enhance the commercial value of silver barbs.
Fishes provide a unique and intriguing model system for studying the genomic origin and evolutionary mechanisms underlying sex determination and high sex-chromosome turnover. In this study, the mode of sex determination was investigated in Siamese fighting fish, a species of commercial importance. Genome-wide SNP analyses were performed on 75 individuals (40 males and 35 females) across commercial populations to determine candidate sex-specific/sex-linked loci.
