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
Molecular reagents: A 481-bp HindIII-fragment from the 3'untranslated region of the cadherin-ll (3170 bp-3651 bp) was used as a hybridization probe. Allele detection: RFLP analysis of a BglII polymorphism. The 4.7-kb band and the 7.2-kb band correspond to restriction fragment length variants of cad
## Abstract In contrast to the biallelic expression of most genes, expression of genes subject to genomic imprinting is monoallelic and based on the sex of the transmitting parent. Possession of only a single active allele can lead to deleterious health consequences in humans. Aberrant expression o
