In mammals, male sex determination, as well as spermatogenesis, is controlled by genes on the Y chromosome. Evolutionary comparisons may be used to detect and test candidate genes for these functions, under the hypothesis that the rapid evolution of the mammalian Y chromosome causes it to contain fe
The polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) loci of six Y-chromosome markers were investigated in 112 unrelated Chinese males using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Allele and haplotype frequencies for the Y-specific STR loci DYS19, DYS385, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391 and DYS393 were analyzed
A selective method was developed, based on negative complementation of the Abruptex alleles of the Notch locus, for studying primary sex chromosome non-disjunction in females and males of Drosophila melanogaster and X-Y exchange in males. The results show that the frequency of primary non-disjunctio
