The application belongs to the technical field of
molecular marker assisted breeding, and particularly relates to a specific SNP
molecular marker for rapidly identifying the genetic sex of Pelochelys cantonensis and application thereof, the SNP
molecular marker is selected from at least one of JB_SNP1-3, is located at the 337th, 363rd and / or 392th base of the
nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 3 and / or 4, and when being GG, CC and / or TT
genotype respectively, the to-be-tested Pelochelys cantonensis individual is male, and when being GT, CA and / or TC
genotype respectively, the to-be-tested Pelochelys cantonensis individual is female. The application provides an important molecular tool for the sex identification and sex determination mechanism research of Pelochelys cantonensis, can convert the judgment of the sex of Pelochelys cantonensis into the judgment of the SNP
genotype, is favorable for the sex identification of Pelochelys cantonensis in the early growth stage, and has the advantages of rapidness and high efficiency, short sex detection period, large detection flux, small
environmental factor interference, high accuracy and reliability of detection results and the like.
