The human Y chromosome has long been recognized as being responsible for sex
determination. In fact, it also encodes more than 30 genes and gene families that participate …

STS markers spanning the AZFc region of human Y Chromosome (Chr) were used to isolate
a series of 14 P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) clones covering at least 560 kb of DNA. End …

Interspecific matings between one released male pig-tailed macaque and female rhesus
macaques were observed in a small isolated semi-wild troop of rhesus macaques in …

Two cases of rare structural aberrations of the Y chromosome were detected: a del (Y)(q12)
chromosome in a child with mild dysmorphic features, obesity and psychomotor delay, and …

Normal human Y and inverted Y chromosomes were chosen for physical fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) mapping of RBM and DAZ probes for the relative positioning of the RBM …

In the follicles of the mammalian and amphibian ovary, oocyte maturation is arrested at the
prophase of the first meiotic division. Prior to ovulation, oocytes re-enter the cell cycle …

PURPOSE: The mammalian sex determining gene, sex region Y chromosome (SRY), is now
firmly established as the testis determining locus. The SRY is close to the short arm Y …

Recent studies have indicated that at least three regions (AZF a–c) on the long arm of the Y‐
chromosome code for factors are involved in spermatogenesis. One of the candidate genes …

Testis-specific protein (TSPY) is a Y-specific gene, with up to 200 copy numbers in bulls. In
order to make bovine embryo sexing under farm condition more feasible, the possibility of …

SINE-R elements constitute a class of retroposons derived from the long terminal repeat
(LTR) of the human endogenous retrovirus HERV-K family that are present in hominoid …
