Evolutionarily diverged regulation of X-chromosomal genes as a primal event in mouse reproductive isolation.

Improper gene regulation is implicated in reproductive isolation, but its genetic and molecular bases are unknown. We previously reported that a mouse inter-subspecific X chromosome substitution strain shows reproductive isolation characterized by male-specific sterility due to disruption of meiotic...
