ZNF280BY and ZNF280AY: autosome derived Y-chromosome gene families in Bovidae
7 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent progress in exploring the Y-chromosome gene content in humans, mice and cats have suggested that "autosome-to-Y" transposition of the male fertility genes is a recurrent theme during the mammalian Y-chromosome evolution. These transpositions are lineage-dependent. The purpose of this study is to investigate the lineage-specific Y-chromosome genes in bovid. RESULTS: We took a direct testis cDNA...
