A New Deletion of the Mouse Y Chromosome Long Arm Associated With the Loss ofSstyExpression, Abnormal Sperm Development and Sterility
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The mouse Y chromosome carries 10 distinct genes or gene families that have open reading frames suggestive of retained functionality; it has been assumed that many of these function in spermatogenesis. However, we have recently shown that only two Y genes, the testis determinant Sry and the translation initiation factor Eif2s3y, are essential for spermatogenesis to proceed to the round spermatid stage. Thus, any...
