Abstract Background The male-specific region of the mouse Y chromosome long arm MSYq is comprised largely of repeated DNA including multiple copies of the spermatid-expressed Ssty gene family. Large deletions of MSYq are associated with sperm head defects for which Ssty deficiency has been presumed to be responsible. Results In a search for further candidate genes associated with these defects we analyzed changes in the testis transcriptome resulting from MSYq deletions using testis cDNA microarrays. This approach aided by accumulating mouse MSYq sequence information .
