The Y chromosome and other heterochromatic regions present special challenges for genome sequencing and for the annotation of genes. Here we describe two new genes (ARY and WDY) on the Drosophila melanogaster Y, bringing its number of known single-copy genes to 12. WDY may correspond to the fertility factor kl-1.
Y染色体和其他异染色质区域给基因组测序和基因注释带来了特殊挑战。在此,我们描述了黑腹果蝇Y染色体上的两个新基因(ARY和WDY),使已知的单拷贝基因数量增加到12个。WDY可能与育性因子kl-1相对应。
