Sry, a gene from the Y chromosome, is known to initiate testis formation and subsequent male differentiation in mammals. A related gene, Sox9, also plays a critical role in testis determination, possibly in all vertebrates. A number of models have been presented regarding the molecular modes of action of these two genes. However, details regarding their regulation, regulatory target genes, and ...

we prove the generalized hyers--ulam stability  of n--th order linear differential equation of the form $y^{(n)}+p_{1}(x)y^{(n-1)}+ cdots+p_{n-1}(x)y^{prime}+p_{n}(x)y=f(x)$, with condition that there exists a non--zero solution of corresponding homogeneous equation. our main results extend and improve the corresponding results obtained by many authors.

development of yeast artificial chromosome (y ac) vectors, molecular cloning of large segments of chromosomal dna, and their propagation in yeast cells has become feasible. overlapping y ac provides a route to the development of physical maps of entire mammalian chromosomes. a rapid method was developed to isolate and sequence termini of y ac inserts quickly. the y ac clone is digested with a r...

Chromosomal defects are relatively frequent in infertile men however, translocations between the Y chromosome and autosomes are rare and less than 40 cases of Y-autosome translocation have been reported. In particular, only three individuals has been described with a Y;21 translocation, up to now. We report on an additional case of an infertile man in whom a Y;21 translocation was associated wi...
