Expression of two Y-linked genes (rdp-y4, ubq-y) in females and males. Template cDNAs were derived from four tissues (B: brain, H: hypothalamus, G: gonad, and P: pituitary). Each tissue was extracted from three adult male/female individuals. rdp-y4 gene was amplified in all four tissues in both sexes with high abundance, thereby confirming the quality of the cDNA templates. ubq-y was not detected in the female tissues and was highly expressed in two male tissues (hypothalamus and pituitary).
