... dynamics, but with a lower amplitude compared with perinatal stages. Although thousands of DMRs were identified, the highest number was found when comparing elongating spermatids R9-12 to late spermatids R13-14 (Table 2). Hierarchical clustering heatmap analysis of all DMR illustrated this dynamics...

... number of spermatid-specific genes. However, only a limited number of key transcription factors have been identified and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we report that SOX30, the most-divergent member of the Sry-related high-motility group box (SOX) family...

...Kenneth C. Kleene ABSTRACT I have compared the quantity and the length of the poly(A) tracts of five haploid-expressed mRNAs in the polysomal and nonpolysomal fractions of round and elongating spermatids in mice: transition proteins 1 and 2, protamines 1 and 2, and an unidentified mRNA of about...
