FIGURE 5.
Sex-related QTLs and gene distribution on the LG17. (A) Highlighted red are QTLs linked to sex. (B) The location of sex-linked marker on the zbtb38 was determined. (C) Sex-linked markers for genotypes in both male and female individuals, heterozygous (six nucleotides deletion) in males and homozygous or heterozygous (three nucleotides deletion) in females, were validated. (D) The sex-linked marker was verified using genotyping in other channel catfish groups.
