DNA test for sex determination in Arapaima gigas using an X/Y marker.
Overview
This DNA test analyzes an X/Y marker used for sex determination in Arapaima gigas.
In this species, external sex characteristics are often difficult to assess reliably. DNA testing can therefore provide valuable support for breeding plans, broodstock selection and aquaculture population management.
Within this analysis, an X/X profile is interpreted as consistent with a female DNA profile, while an X/Y profile is interpreted as consistent with a male DNA profile.
