摘要: ABSTRACT Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the most cultivated and economically important species in world aquaculture. Faster male development during grow-out phase considered a major problem that generate heterogeneous sizes fish at harvest. Identifying genomic regions associated with sex determination research topic great interest. The objective this study was to identify variants three commercial populations tilapia. Whole-genome sequencing 326 individuals performed, total 2.4 million high-quality bi-allelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. A genome-wide association (GWAS) conducted markers binary sexual trait (males = 0; females 1). mixed logistic regression GWAS model fitted significant signal comprising 36 SNPs, located on chromosome 23 spanning region 536 kb, Ten out these genetic variants, intercept anti-Mullerian hormone gene. Other SNPs neighboring Amh gene region. This has been strongly several vertebrate species, playing an essential role differentiation female reproductive tissue early stages development. finding provides useful information better understand mechanisms underlying
