| Abstract: | Background Meiotic prophase is a critical stage in sexual reproduction. Aberrant chromosome recombination during this stage is a leading
cause of human miscarriages and birth defects. However, due to the experimental intractability of mammalian gonads, only a
very limited number of meiotic genes have been characterized. Here we aim to identify novel meiotic genes important in human
reproduction through computational mining of cross-species and cross-sex time-series expression data from budding yeast, mouse
postnatal testis, mouse embryonic ovary, and human fetal ovary. |
