Pseudogenes are not included in the table.

*

Gene names as shown in Supplementary Fig. 1. HUGO name is in parentheses when the two names differ. Em, EMBL entry.

Distances refer to Y chromosome sequence assembly NCBI35. Where multiple Y chromosome orthologues exist, the locations of all copies are shown on the Y chromosome. The exception is TSPY, which has ~35 copies in an array centred at approximately 9.5 Mb on the Y chromosome41.

Major homology blocks as shown in Figs 5 and 6.
