## Abstract Spermatogenesis is the process by which testicular spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) selfβrenew and differentiate into mature sperm in the testis. Maintaining healthy spermatogenesis requires proper proliferation of SSCs. In this study, we sought to identify factors that regulate the pro

Abstract
Mouseβhuman hybrid cells that preferentially segregate either mouse or human chromosomes were analyzed for their relative content of mouse and human rRNA genes and for their capacity to transcribe these genes. A distinctive Hind III restriction fragment containing 28S rRNA sequences was used to distinguish between mouse and human rDNA and a set of distinctive loop structures in the 45S preβrRNA was used to distinguish between mouse and human gene transcripts. Our results indicate that the genes of only one species are transcriptionally active in these hybrid cells, even though both sets of genes are present.
