Evolution of the X-linked zinc finger gene and the Y-linked zinc finger gene in primates.

Molecules and cells - 31 Oct 2000

Kim H S, Takenaka O

Abstract excerpt

We have sequenced the partial exon of the zinc finger genes (ZFX and ZFY) in 5 hominoids, 2 Old World monkeys, 1 New World monkey, and 1 prosimian. Among these primate species, the percentage similarities of the nucleotide sequence of the ZFX gene were 96-100% and 91.2-99.7% for the ZFY gene. Of 397 sites in the ZFX and ZFY gene sequences, 20 for ZFX gene and 42 for ZFY gene were found to be variable....
