3640 unique EST clusters from the medaka testis and their potential use for identifying conserved testicular gene expression in fish and mammals.

BACKGROUND: The fish medaka is the first vertebrate capable of full spermatogenesis in vitro from self-renewing spermatogonial stem cells to motile test-tube sperm. Precise staging and molecular dissection of this process has been hampered by the lack of suitable molecular markers. METHODOLOGY AND P...
