Common carp sex-determining gene ccmd and its applications in carp sex identification or sex control

Abstract

Common carp sex-determining gene ccMD is used in common carp sex identification and sex control, where the gene is isolated and cloned from common carp and the protein encoded is shown in SEQ ID NO: 3. By utilizing the sequence features of the gene to design specific primers, XX, XY and YY common carp can be rapidly and accurately identified. With the gene serving as a target gene, genetically male but physiologically female common carp, or genetically female but physiologically male common carp, can be rapidly obtained by gene editing technology and gene transfer technology without hormone treatment. The invention uses an accurate genetic target for sex identification and sex-controlled breeding of common carp and provides novel genetic resources for superior germplasm creation in common carp aquaculture and ornamental breeding, as well as for the prevention and control of common carp as invasive alien species.
