Tracing paternal ancestry in mice, using the Y-linked, sex-determining locus, Sry.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 May 1994

Abstract excerpt

The molecular evolution of mammalian Y-linked DNA sequences is of special interest because of their unique mode of inheritance: most Y-linked sequences are clonally inherited from father to son. Here we investigate the use of Y-linked sequences for phylogenetic inference. We describe a comparativ...
