The male-specific region of teh human Y chromosome is a mosaic of discrete sequence classes
Article Abstract:
The male -specific region of the Y chromosome, the MSY, differentiates the sexes and comprises 95% of the chromosome's length. It is reported that the MSY is a mosaic of heterochromatic sequences and three classes of euchromatic sequences.
