| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Five sequences of a female genomic data were identified as X-linked by comparing with a male genomic data. RNA-seq data obtained from a variety of tissues were mapped onto the X-linked sequences, and genes expressed specifically in female sexual organs were searched. RT-PCR revealed one of the candidate genes was indeed expressed specifically in female sexual organs. The candidate X-linked gene is similar to those involved in regulation of DNA methylation.
