We report the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings in a family in which a t(Y;15)(p11.2;q12) is segregating. The Y chromosome breakpoint disrupts the DYZ5 sequence containing the TSPY genes that are exclusively expressed in the testes while the chromosome 15 breakpoint is within the GABRG3 gene. The father and his son who both carried the balanced form of the translocation are clinically normal. A daughter who carried the der Y had the clinical features of Prader-Willi syndrome while a son who carries the der 15 has mild developmental delay and hypogonadism. The relationship of the translocation to the clinical phenotypes is discussed.

Single-tube nested PCR (STnPCR) is a technique that improves nested PCR, reducing potential contamination and false-positive results, enhancing the amplification sensitivity. Despite being commonly used for the detection of microorganisms, STnPCR can be a valuable tool for bovine genotyping, encompassing essential targets as ROSA26 and TSPY, pivotal in the fields of animal reproduction, genetic improvement, and transgenic research. The objective of this study was to improve and innovate STnPCR for gene detection in cattle.

Two methods for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) have been described for equine embryos: trophoblast cell biopsy (TCB) or blastocoele fluid aspiration (BFA). While TCB is widely applied for both in vivo- and in vitro-produced embryos, BFA has been mostly utilized for in vivo-produced embryos. Alternative methods for PGT, including analysis of cell-free DNA (CFD) in the medium where in vitro-produced embryos are cultured, have been reported in humans but not for equine embryos.

chromosomes of great apes harbor mpliconic enes (YAGs)-multi-copy gene families (, , , , , , , , and ) that encode proteins important for spermatogenesis. Previous work assembled YAG transcripts based on their targeted sequencing but not using reference genome assemblies, potentially resulting in an incomplete transcript repertoire. Here we used the recently produced gapless telomere-to-telomere (T2T) Y chromosome assemblies of great ape species (bonobo, chimpanzee, human, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, and Sumatran orangutan) and analyzed RNA data from whole-testis samples for the same species.

Y chromosomal ampliconic genes (YAGs) are important for male fertility, as they encode proteins functioning in spermatogenesis. The variation in copy number and expression levels of these multicopy gene families has been studied in great apes; however, the diversity of splicing variants remains unexplored. Here, we deciphered the sequences of polyadenylated transcripts of all nine YAG families (BPY2, CDY, DAZ, HSFY, PRY, RBMY, TSPY, VCY, and XKRY) from testis samples of six great ape species (human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, Bornean orangutan, and Sumatran orangutan).

The human Y chromosome has been notoriously difficult to sequence and assemble because of its complex repeat structure that includes long palindromes, tandem repeats and segmental duplications. As a result, more than half of the Y chromosome is missing from the GRCh38 reference sequence and it remains the last human chromosome to be finished. Here, the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium presents the complete 62,460,029-base-pair sequence of a human Y chromosome from the HG002 genome (T2T-Y) that corrects multiple errors in GRCh38-Y and adds over 30 million base pairs of sequence to the reference, showing the complete ampliconic structures of gene families TSPY, DAZ and RBMY; 41 additional protein-coding genes, mostly from the TSPY family; and an alternating pattern of human satellite 1 and 3 blocks in the heterochromatic Yq12 region.
