We show that the mutation in sys mice involves a deletion of 1.24 Mb of chromosome 14. Comparative genomic analysis suggests that this region contains only one gene, Fndc3a. A genetic complementation analysis using mice with a specific mutation within Fndc3a verifies that mutation of Fndc3a is the cause of male sterility in sys mice." ; prov:wasQuotedFrompubmed:16904100 . sub:_4rdfs:label "Selventa" . sub:assertionprov:hadPrimarySourcepubmed:16904100 ; prov:wasDerivedFrombeldoc: , sub:_3 . }
