Prediction of the Sex-Associated Genomic Region in Tunas (Thunnus Fishes) by Yoji Nakamura, Kentaro Higuchi, Kazunori Kumon, Motoshige Yasuike, Toshinori Takashi, Koichiro Gen, Atushi Fujiwara

“…We reviewed the RNA-seq data of southern bluefin tuna (T. maccoyii) in the public database and found that sult1st6y of southern bluefin tuna was expressed in all male testes, but absent or suppressed in the female ovary. Since estrogen sulfotransferase is responsible for the inactivation of estrogens, it is reasonable to assume that the expression of sult1st6y in gonad cells may inhibit female development, thereby inducing the individuals to become males. …”

“…Juvenile hormone plays a “status quo” role in Drosophila melanogaster larvae, preventing the untimely metamorphosis, and performs a gonadotropic function in imagoes, ensuring the ovaries’ preparedness for vitellogenesis. The decreased level of juvenile hormone results in reproductive disorders in D. melanogaster females including a delay in the oviposition onset and a fertility decrease. …”
