Despite the sequencing of Drosophila melanogaster genome, little is known about Y-linked genes. However, it is well established that some of them are essential for male fertility given that X0 males are viable but infertile. So far, six fertility regions and twelve genes have been identified in the Y chromosome. For most of them, function remains a mystery as they have been inferred based…
The Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disease that affects the connective tissue, exhibiting extreme pleiotropism and clinical variability. The most affected systems are: ocular, cardiovascular and skeletal. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene that encodes Fibrilin-1 (Fbn1), which is an important component of the extracellular matrix. In 1997, a first murine model was develope…
Drosophila's Y chromosome is mainly heterochromatic and poor in gene content. The paucity of Y-linked genes does not mean that it is irrelevant for proper male development since it is essential for male fertility. To gain further understanding on their functions, we have been working with differential expression analysis along spermatogenesis of Y-linked genes. RNAseq and cytogenetic data…
