X chromosome inactivation during Drosophila spermatogenesis [PDF]
Genes with male- and testis-enriched expression are under-represented on the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome. There is also an excess of retrotransposed genes, many of which are expressed in testis, that have “escaped” the X chromosome and moved to ...

A model system for study of sex chromosome effects on sexually dimorphic neural and behavioral traits [PDF]
We tested the hypothesis that genes encoded on the sex chromosomes play a direct role in sexual differentiation of brain and behavior. We used mice in which the testis-determining gene (Sry) was moved from the Y chromosome to an autosome (by deletion of ...

A boy with 46,X,+mar presenting gynecomastia and short stature [PDF]
A 15-year-old boy was referred due to gynecomastia and short stature. He was overweight and showed the knuckle-dimple sign on the left hand, a short fourth toe on the left foot, and male external genitalia with a small phallus.

The sex chromosomes play central roles in determining the sex of almost all of the multicellular organisms. It is well known that meiosis in mammalian spermatogenesis produces ~50% Y- and ~50% X-chromosome-bearing sperm, a 1:1 ratio. Here we first reveal

Ancient Migratory Events in the Middle East: New Clues from the Y-Chromosome Variation of Modern Iranians [PDF]
Knowledge of high resolution Y-chromosome haplogroup diversification within Iran provides important geographic context regarding the spread and compartmentalization of male lineages in the Middle East and southwestern Asia.

The genetic and cultural impact of the Steppe migration into Europe
Background During the early 3rd millennium BCE migration from Pontic Steppe, mainly related to Yamnaya culture, has affected European populations both culturally and genetically, however, it has long been debated to what extent this migration was male ...

A genetic basis for a postmeiotic X versus Y chromosome intragenomic conflict in the mouse. [PDF]
Intragenomic conflicts arise when a genetic element favours its own transmission to the detriment of others. Conflicts over sex chromosome transmission are expected to have influenced genome structure, gene regulation, and speciation.

Background Structural abnormalities as well as minor variations of the Y chromosome may cause disorders of sex differentiation or, more frequently, azoospermia.

The Y chromosome has evolved to provide sex determination in mammals. In association with its evolution, genes important for spermatogenesis have been sequestered on this chromosome. Further, X chromosome inactivation has developed as a mechanism to prevent over-expression of genetic factors important for somatic function in females, with maintenance ...
