A unique pattern of aberrant sperm development occurs in laboratory mice (Mus domesticus) that have been made homozygous for an allele of an autosomal gene, Hst-6s, derived from another mouse species, Mus spretus. During the abnormal spermiogenic process of these sterile animals, the sperm tail f...
