... RSV LTR and a translocated c-myc gene obeys very unusual rules. If the transgene is inherited from the male parent, it is expressed in the heart and no other tissue. If it is inherited from the female parent, it is not expressed at all. This pattern of expression correlates precisely with a parental ...

... In sperm, DNA is 10- to 20-fold more tightly packed than in nuclei of regular cells. The tight packaging of DNA is mediated by protamine proteins, which are loaded onto the DNA during male germ cell differentiation, after histones have been removed.
