This project explores the sex reversal of the mosquitofish Gambusia affinis to study sex chromosome evolution. It aims to identify sexually antagonistic genes and their expression differences, utilizing advanced sequencing techniques to enhance understanding of sex-biased gene expression.
For the first time the possibility to change certain species sex while maintaining their original sex chromosomes is presented as an excellent opportunity to unravel aspects of sex chromosome evolution.
Theory of sex chromosome evolution states that sexually antagonistic genes, i.e. genes that are beneficial to one sex but at the same time harmful to the opposite sex, should often be linked to one of the sex chromosomes.
Current knowledge of which genes are responsible for such sexual antagonism…
