Although gene maps for a variety of evolutionarily diverged mammalian species have
expanded rapidly during the past few years, until recently it has been difficult to precisely …

Genes that escape X inactivation have been recently found in human and in mouse.
Although many of these genes have homologues on the Y chromosome that may …

Human sex chromosomes evolved from autosomes. Nineteen ancestral autosomal genes
persist as differentiated homologs on the X and Y chromosomes. The ages of individual XY …

Over the past decade, conservation of genetic linkage groups has been shown in mammals
and used to great advantage, fueling significant exchanges of gene mapping and functional …

Data from completely sequenced genomes are likely to open the way for novel studies of the
genetics of nonmodel organisms, in particular when it comes to the identification and …

The retinitis pigmentosaGTPase regulator (RPGR) gene encodes a protein homologous to
the RCC1 guanine nucleotide exchange factor and is mutated in 20% of patients with X …

A high-quality integrated genetic and physical map of the X chromosome from telomere to
telomere, based primarily on YACs formatted with probes and STSs, is increasingly close to …

A genetic linkage map of the ovine X chromosome containing type I and type II markers has
been constructed. The map contains 7 known gene markers and 14 microsatellite markers …

Members of the cAMP-dependent second-messenger pathway have been described as
regulators of cellular growth and differentiation and were consequently implicated in a …

Comparative mapping of X-linked genes has progressed rapidly since Ohno's prediction that
genes on the X chromosome should be conserved as a syntenic group in all mammals …
