Abstract excerpt

A comparative study of the last exon of the zinc finger genes Zfx, Zfy, and Zfa from species of mice in the genus Mus was conducted to assess the extent of gene-specific and chromosome-specific effects on the evolutionary patterns among related X-, Y-, and autosomal-linked genes. Phylogenetic analyses of 29 sequences from Zfx, Zfa, and Zfy from 10 taxa were performed to infer relatedness among the zinc finger...
