Article Synopsis
- Megaleporinus macrocephalus (piauçu) is a Neotropical fish with a unique ZZ/ZW sex determination system, making it an excellent model to study sex chromosomes.
- Researchers assembled a high-quality reference genome of over 1.28 billion base pairs, revealing distinct regions on the sex chromosome that exhibit degeneration and differentiation.
- Key findings indicate that genes like amhr2 and bmp7 may play important roles in sex determination and provide insights into the evolutionary dynamics of fish sex chromosomes.
