Identification of a novel testis-specific gene in mice and its potential roles in spermatogenesis.

Identification of a novel gene in mouse testis and its relation to spermatogenesis.Genes expressed during different developmental stages of the mouse testis were screened by DNA microarray. The results of chip analysis were authenticated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique, as well as the tissue distribution of the selected genes. The characteristics of the selected genes were analyzed by bioinformatics tools.A...
