Mytilus protamine-like sperm-specific protein genes are multicopy, dispersed, and closely associated with hypervariable RFLP regions.

Genome - 1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt

Protamine-like sperm packaging proteins replace somatic histones during spermatogenesis, and although the proteins have been well-characterized in many marine invertebrate species, little is known of the arrangement of the genes. The research described here was designed to determine the sequence...
