We discovered that 73 of them were highly or specifically expressed in the testes based on the microarray expression data.
The OR for cryptorchidism (undescended testes), based on 18 studies (8753 malformed cases, 98 627 controls) is 1.13 (95% CI 1.02 1.25, P = 0.02); Supplementary data, Table S20, Fig. 4f.
The other putative variant of CSMD3 is expressed in testes (based on mRNA and EST evidence), and instead of the 79 aa exon uses part of an antisense RPL18-derived retrocopy; the event might also have led to use of a new promoter for the gene.
They determined, based on the weight of males' testes, that the whales reached sexual maturity at a body length of 11.2 meters.
We assumed average levels of dose to testes or ovaries based on the type of cancer being treated and the calendar year of treatment.
However, the data for spermatids were collected based on cross-sections of resin-embedded testes extracted from adult males, and thus are independent of such potential artefacts.
Previously published linkage analyses were based on recombination that occurred in the testes of male (presumably ZZ) F1 hybrids between A. mexicanum and A. t. tigrinum (Voss, 1995; Smith et al, 2005).
This database provides estimates of gene expression levels across 10 human tissues (colon, heart, hypothalamus, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, skeletal muscle, spleen, and testes) and is based on RNA sequencing, which provides a less biased estimate of gene expression than probe-based technologies.
We performed analyses based on any TM (⩾1 microlith in a testes) also described as Limited TM (LTM) and on TM ⩾5 microliths per testes, referred to as Classical TM (CTM) (Middleton et al, 2002).
