Widespread Presence of Human BOULE Homologs among Animals and Conservation of Their Ancient Reproductive Function

15 Jul 2010

Abstract excerpt

Sex-specific traits that lead to the production of dimorphic gametes, sperm in males and eggs in females, are fundamental for sexual reproduction and accordingly widespread among animals. Yet the sex-biased genes that underlie these sex-specific traits are under strong selective pressure, and as a result of adaptive evolution they often become divergent. Indeed out of hundreds of male or female fertility genes...
