    2. our findings show that RNAi-mediated disruption of Zfx/Zfy in mouse testis affected X/Y spermatogenesis. Additionally, results suggest that the paralogous genes Zfx/Zfy play an important role in the process of X and Y sperm development. The individual interference of Zfx/Zfy may predict the outcome of X and Y haploid sperms. Presented herein is an advanced method developed to control mouse X/Y spermatogenesis and sex rati

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
