Genotypic sex determination in teleosts: Insights from the testis-determining amhy gene

Highlights • Non-transcription factors can evolve as master sex-determining genes. • Amh/AmhrII signaling might be critical for teleost male determination and differentiation. • TSD may hamper the establishment and maintenance of sex-determining genes in fish.
