Evolution of the sex-determining gene in the teleostean genus Oryzias

Highlights • Recent advances in our understanding of genetic sex determination systems in Oryzias. • No molecular characteristics appear to be common among the master sex-determining genes. • Many genes will have the potential to be recruited as the master sex-determining gene.
