Description
Recently, a dominant genomic marker (AllWSEX2) has been found with association to femaleness in sturgeons. We developed a duplex PCR (dAllWSEX2) with the adjacent bmp7 gene as an internal control, to validate an effective PCR. Robust amplification of control fragments was observed for all samples of our commercial A. gueldenstaedtii stock (n = 337).
