Chromosome-level analysis of Mauremys mutica genome

Knowledge of the sex determination system and sex-associated genes have important implications in physiology, ecology and evolution, yet much remains to be elusive about the mechanism underlying sexual determination systems of turtles due to their remarkably variability and the lack of the reference genomes in some species.
