The sex-determining locus in the tiger pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes.
The tiger pufferfish (fugu), Takifugu rubripes, is a model fish that has had its genome entirely sequenced. By performing genomewide linkage analyses, we show that the sex of fugu is determined by a single chromosomal region on linkage group 19 in an XX-XY system.
