Mammals produce sperm or oocytes depending on their sex; however, newborn MRL/MpJ (MRL) male mice produce oocytes within their testes. We previously reported that one of the genes responsible for this phenotype is present on the MRL-type Y chromosome (Y(MRL)), and that multiple genes, probably autosomal, are also required for the development of this phenotype. In this study we focused on the autosomal genes and...
