Abstract
Six new Y-specific probes have been isolated and are reported. Along with another six already described they have been used in a systematic search for male specific RFLPs. An overall number of 46515 nucleotides have been screened with 12 enzymes and no polymorphic pattern observed. Our data reveal a greatly reduced level of polymorphism compared with other chromosomesKeywords
