Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging —Fritz Lipmann Institute in Jena have made a significant breakthrough in killifish research.

They identified a gene that determines the male sex in Nothobranchius furzeri.

This discovery is particularly notable because it contrasts with known mechanisms of sex determination in other fish species, such as zebrafish and medaka.
