Comparative gonadal transcriptome analysis reveals sex-biased genes in Siniperca scherzeri
Siniperca scherzeri is a valuable freshwater fish in China. The economic value of female S. scherzeri far exceeds that of males. Nevertheless, the lack of sex-related research has significantly impeded the development of single-sex breeding programs for this species.
In this investigation, Illumina Novaseq technology was employed to perform a comparative analysis of the gonadal transcriptomes of S. scherzeri in the first time. Assembly yielded 33,690 unigenes, of which 31,395 were successfully annotated. A comparative analysis identified 15,146 differentially expressed genes between the ovary and testis. Specifically, 9514 genes were downregulated and 5632 genes were upregulated in the ovaries. Moreover, multiple genes participating in gonadal differentiation and development, steroid synthetic pathway, and gametogenesis were screened out. Among these genes, sox 1, sox3, cyp26a1, gdf9, bmp15, zp3, foxh1, and nr0b1 showed ovary-biased expression; Amh, dmrt1b, sox 4, and nanos 2 showed testis-bias expression. Our real-time PCR also confirmed the RNA-seq results of these genes. These results are of great significance for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of sex differentiation and development in S. scherzeri.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
