Abstract:
:The human male specific expressed gene families CDY and DAZ are known to be repetitively clustered in the Y-specific region of the human Y chromosome. Comparative FISH-mapping of DNA clones specific for CDY and DAZ resulted in a Y-specific but diverse signal pattern within the non-recombining region of the Y-chromosomes of human and great apes. It can be concluded that the non-recombining part of the Y-chromosomes including CDY and DAZ, was exposed to species-specific amplifications, diversifications and rearrangements. Evolutionary fast fixation of any of these variations was possible as long as they did not interfere with male fertility.
