For several decades, the mammalian Y chromosome was considered a genetic "desert," with the testis determinant being the sole survivor of the attrition that followed the chromosome's inception. Aside from the addition of a genetic factor required for spermatogenesis to the human Y chromosome in 1976
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
None of the up to now localized and expressed oncogenes maps to the mammalian X chromosome. This fact is discussed in the light of a trans-acting regulation mechanism for oncogenes. Such a specific regulation mechanism is demonstrated here for a qualitative change--i.e., varying timing of DNA-replic
