We are delighted to share our latest preprint led by @JeremieSubrini 🚨 What are the specific functions of each Y-chromosome gene in fertility ? We generated and studied 13 Y-gene KO mouse models to find out! 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Systematic identification of Y-chromosome gene functions in mouse spermatogenesis

The mammalian Y chromosome is essential for male fertility, but how individual Y genes regulate spermatogenesis is poorly understood. To resolve this question, we generate a deletion series of the...
