Description:
Article Sex chromosomes harbour specific sequences that determine the sexual development of the organism; yet these sequences remain unknown for many species. Here, Takehana et al. show that, similarly to mammals, Sox3 on the Y chromosome is the male-determining factor in the medaka-related fish Oryzias dancena .
