Binding sites for transcription factors were predicted using the matrix60 (link), and the Regulatory Sequence Analysis Tools portal (http://rsat.ulb.ac.be/rsat/, last accessed March 15, 2015). Testis samples (20 mg) from dmrt1bY:GFP transgenic fish and GFP antibody (Upstate) were used for in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) by using the EpiQuik Tissue Chromatin Immunoprecipitation kit (Epigentek)16 (link)61 (link). After tissue disaggregation and cell re-suspension, DNA was sheared by sonication (9 pulses of 10s with an amplitude of 10%)16 (link). ChIP procedure and analysis of DNA enrichment by real-time PCR were as described16 (link)62 (link).
