This work describes the construction and characterization of a sequence characterized amplified DNA region (SCAR DNA), designated OmyP9, that was derived from a RAPD marker associated with the sex chromosomes in rainbow trout. A RsaI restriction fragment length polymorphism in OmyP9 identifies variants A, B and C. We found six OmyP9 variant phenotypes - A, B, C, AB, BC and ABC, in 186 individuals of seven different rainbow trout strains. The patterns of inheritance of OmyP9 in 139 fingerlings from 10 crosses of three strains of rainbow trout were studied. The males had a greater representation of the A variant (93.3%) suggesting an association with the Y chromosome. All male fingerlings analysed inherited the A variant from their male parents. These results support the hypothesis that OmyP9 is located on the sex chromosomes of rainbow trout, and that for the males studied the A variant is located on the Y chromosome in a region close to sex determinants and/or in a sector where the genetic recombination between X and Y is restricted. The present evidence also supports our previous hypothesis that OmyP9 is organized as a tandem repeated sequence in the sex chromosomes of rainbow trout. We feel that the OmyP9 RsaI marker can be used for sex identification in crosses where it is possible to determine the phenotype of the parents.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D003433 Crosses, Genetic Deliberate breeding of two different individuals that results in offspring that carry part of the genetic material of each parent. The parent organisms must be genetically compatible and may be from different varieties or closely related species. Cross, Genetic,Genetic Cross,Genetic Crosses
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012730 Sex Chromosomes The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.
