The <i>Drosophila</i> fertility factor <i>kl-3</i> is linked to the Y-chromosome of the vector of Chagas’ disease <i>Triatoma infestans</i> (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and is essential for male fertility

2019-07-02

Abstract excerpt

In many insects, the Y chromosome plays a key role in sexual determination and male fertility. The Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans has 22 autosomal chromosomes and a pair of XY sex chromosomes. However, the knowledge on the Y chromosome of this species, its genetic content or its biological function, is very poor. Due to repetitive DNA, Y chromosome sequences are poorly assembled in genome projects, hind...
