Promoter ChIP-chip analysis in mouse testis reveals Y chromosome occupancy by HSF2
6 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The mammalian Y chromosome is essential for spermatogenesis, which is characterized by sperm cell differentiation and chromatin condensation for acquisition of correct shape of the sperm. Deletions of the male-specific region of the mouse Y chromosome long arm (MSYq), harboring multiple copies of a few genes, lead to sperm head defects and impaired fertility. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation on promoter...
