Bidirectional transcription of a novel chimeric gene mapping to mouse chromosome Yq
24 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The male-specific region of the mouse Y chromosome long arm (MSYq) contains three known highly multi-copy X-Y homologous gene families, Ssty1/2, Sly and Asty. Deletions on MSYq lead to teratozoospermia and subfertility or infertility, with a sex ratio skew in the offspring of subfertile MSYqdel males RESULTS: We report the highly unusual genomic structure of a novel MSYq locus, Orly, and a diverse set...
