Abstract excerpt
Variations in the Y-chromosome are usually correlated with male-specific traits. However, this condition has been described only sporadically, even in human genetics. The present study was conducted to clone the full-length gene sequence of ovine DEAD-box helicase 3, Y-linked (DDX3Y), and investigate the effect of the expression and variation of DDX3Y on the reproductive traits of Hu sheep. Consequently, we...
