► We analyzed testis–ova marker genes in the testis of estrogen-exposed adult medaka. ► Testis–ova were induced by ethinylestradiol and estradiol benzoate. ► Microarray revealed up-regulation of zona pellucida genes in the testis with oocytes. ► These genes can be used as marker genes for detection...
