Abstract excerpt
PRDM9-mediated reproductive isolation was first described in the progeny of Mus musculus musculus (MUS) PWD/Ph and Mus musculus domesticus (DOM) C57BL/6J inbred strains. These male F1 hybrids fail to complete chromosome synapsis and arrest meiosis at prophase I, due to incompatibilities between the Prdm9 gene and hybrid sterility locus Hstx2. We identified 14 alleles of Prdm9 in exon 12, encoding the DNA-binding...
