Abstract excerpt
The wild-derived CLA inbred strain of the house mouse contains a domesticus-type Y chromosome that lacks a 2.3-kb TaqI band with fragment 1 of the AC11 probe. The CLA Y chromosome also causes a low frequency of XY gonadal hermaphrodites when backcrossed to the C57BL/6J strain (F. G. Biddle and Y. Nishioka, 1988. Genome, 30:870-878). A similar domesticus-type Y chromosome, lacking the 2.3-kb TaqI band has now been...
