Mapping the human Y chromosome

چکیده
This paper reviews past and present trends in mapping the human Y chromosome. So far, mapping has essentially used a combination of cytogenetic and molecular analyses of Y-chromosomal anomalies and sex reversal syndromes. This deletion mapping culminated recently in the isolation of the putative sex-determining locus TDF. With the availability of new separation and cloning techniques suited for large size fragments (over 100 kilobases), the next step will consist rather in the establishment of a physical map of fragments of known physical sizes. This may allow the definition of several variants of the human Y chromosome differing by the order or location of DNA sequences along the molecule.

I-49: Human Y Chromosome ProteomeProject
The success of the Human Genome Project (HGP) has provided a blueprint for the approximately 20,000 gene-encoded proteins potentially active in all of the hundreds of cell types that make up the human body. Yet we still have limited knowledge about a majority of the gene-encoded proteins which are the “building blocks of life” and “cellular machinery”. It is estimated that for nearly half of th...

The Human Genome Project has generated a blueprint for the approximately 20,300 gene-encoded proteins potentially active in any of 230 cell types that make up the human body (human proteome). However, based on the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot database content, about 6000 of at the protein level; for many others, there is very little information related to protein function, abundance, subcellular locali...
متن کاملDHPLC Applications: Finding DNA Variation on the Y Chromosome
Denaturing High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (DHPLC) is a recently developed technique forthe detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and mutations. It involves the comparisonbetween two or more DNAs as a mixture of denatured and reannealed PCR products. The methodologyis based on the principle of reversed phase liquid chromatography and uses a unique DNA sepa...
متن کاملO-4: Association of Y Chromosome Microdeletion with Spermatogenic Impairment and Infertility in Human Males with High Concentration of Seminal Hexachlorocyclohexane (HC)
Background: The Y chromosome microdeletion is one of the best-documented causes of male infertility but the factors responsible for Y chromosome microdeletions in spermatozoa remain unresolved. However, the environmental pollutants are known to damage DNA in differentiating and maturing germ cells in the male reproductive tract. In view of this, the objective of the present study was to explore...
متن کاملP-239: NGS Mapping Breakpoints of a Familial Chromosome Insertion (18:7) (q22.1; q36.2 q21.11) to DPP6 and CACNA2D1 Genes in An Azoospermic Man
Background: Aberrant chromosomes can cause azoospermia but little is known about its molecular mechanism. Our aim is to explore any possible genetic defective to explain a given male infertility. Materials and Methods: An azoopsermic male was identified in a 23 years old male. G-banding and FISH confirmed the karyotype as chromosome insertion (18:7) (q22.1; q36.2q21.11). NGS was performed to an...
متن کاملI-39: Exploring New Frontiers in Human Y Chromosome Proteome Project
The major goal of the Chromosome-Centric Human Proteome Project (C-HPP) is to systematically map the entire human proteome with the intent to enhance our understanding of human biology at the cellular level. However, this goal may be hindered by the lack of quality observations of given proteins due to absence of expression in a given tissue, very low abundance, and expression only in rare samp...
