Deficiency of the multi-copy mouse Y gene <i>Sly</i> causes sperm DNA damage and abnormal chromatin packaging
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
In mouse and man Y chromosome deletions are frequently associated with spermatogenic defects. Mice with extensive deletions of non-pairing Y chromosome long arm (NPYq) are infertile and produce sperm with grossly misshapen heads, abnormal chromatin packaging and DNA damage. The NPYq-encoded multi-copy gene Sly controls the expression of sex chromosome genes after meiosis and Sly deficiency results in a remarkable...
