| Abstract |
Sex determination is an important area of research, which has always had an intriguing aspect in evolutionary and developmental biology. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping for sex will be helpful in clarifying the sex determination system. In this study, the sex QTL mapping of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) was performed based on a high-density linkage map, and a highly significant QTL specifically mapped on a single linkage group (LG) was firstly identified (LG24, LOD > 14). Twenty markers in the QTL region showed significant associations with sex by association analysis, of which heterogametic genotypes in males supported the XY sex determination mechanism. Two sex-specific markers at the family level were identified via segregation distortion analysis, which were known to be the most closely linked to the sex of P. trituberculatus. Based on sex marker sequences (Marker3840, Marker20320, and Marker10494), three potential sex-related genes were identified, and the quantitative real-time PCR results suggested that these genes were important in spermatogenesis or sex characteristics in males. Our results will contribute to the fine-mapping of sex-determining genes and clarify the sex determination mechanism of P. trituberculatus. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 August 2018.
All research outputs
#15,017,219
of 23,100,534 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Genetics
#4,568
of 12,152 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#200,004
of 334,232 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Genetics
#109
of 190 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,100,534 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,152 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,232 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 190 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
