Genomic basis of socially-cued sex change in the New Zealand spotty

ABSTRACT: Spotty wrasses (Notolabrus celidotus) undergo socially cued female-to-male sex change as adults. We combine captive social manipulations and time-series sampling with transcriptomic and methylome approaches to describe the molecular cascade that orchestrates gonadal metamorphosis. Our findings reveal at a molecular level how a normally committed developmental process remains plastic and is reversed to completely alter organ structures.
