Linkage disequilibrium between the pseudoautosomal PEPB-1 locus and the sex-determining region of chinook salmon.

abstract：:Increasing attention has been paid to the maternally inherited microbes that are capable of manipulating the reproduction of their hosts for their own benefit. Although several studies have revealed that the host genotype can affect the intensity of the manipulation, the underlying genetic basis is poorly understood. ...
