Abstract

Little is known regarding molecular mechanisms involved in sex determination and differentiation in sturgeon species. We addressed this knowledge gap by using next generation pyrosequencing technology to provide transcript libraries and species-specific sequences for mature gonads of shovelnose sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus platorynchus. We then mined these libraries to identify gender-specific transcripts and quantified relative transcript abundance using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We detected a limited number of genes known to play a role in sex differentiation in other species. The sequence for dmrt1 was found only in the testes library. The abundance of dmrt1 differed slightly between the sexes, but the melt curve suggests that there may be different isoforms of dmrt1 in ovaries and testes of shovelnose sturgeon. The transcription factor foxl2 was 5.3-fold greater in ovaries than in testes. Two antagonists to the Wnt cascade, dickkopf-1 (dkk1) and dapper-1 (dact1), were found only in the ovary library. Results from qPCR indicated that dkk1 and dact1 were upregulated 1,819.1- and 207.5-fold, respectively, in ovaries compared with testes. These results suggest that antagonists to the Wnt cascade may play significant roles in sex differentiation and gonadal development in sturgeon and could serve as sex markers in this group of ancient fish.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
