Sex- and stage-dependent expression of gonadal soma-derived factor paralogues reveals functional and evolutionary divergence in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
These results support the subfunctionalization of <i>gsdf</i> paralogues in sea bass, with sexspecific partitioning of reproductive roles, and provide new insight into the evolutionary plasticity of gonad-related genes in teleosts.
