Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In fish, reproductive strategies greatly differ: such as seasonal breeding, semelparity, iteroparity and so on. Germ line stem cells play pivotal roles in these reproductive strategies. In this study, we try to identify the molecular markers to identify spermatogonial stem cells. As a result, we successfully identify three transcripts preferentially expressed in spermatogonial stem cells. These finding will provide the basis for analyzing the germline stem cells in fish.
