<p>(A) Homologous fragments of <i>VCY2</i> from three overlapping BAC clones (CH250–99F15, CH250–59H13, and CH250–249M17) were extracted from the rhesus macaque male-specific region of Chr-Y (MSY). The position of each BAC clone in the whole MSY region is marked. (B) A putative synteny block around the <i>VCY2</i> from rhesus macaque was reconstructed and compared with the synteny block of human <i>VCY2</i>. (C) Fragments homologous to <i>VCY2</i> were extracted from rhesus macaque Chr-8 and Chr-Y. Artificial translations of rhesus macaque <i>VCY2</i> exon 1 and exon 4 are shown below each row of the alignment and compared to the deduced protein sequence of the <i>VCY2</i> ORF above the row. Positions of start and stop codons are indicated. Disablers are indicated by red. <i>DAZ</i>, deleted in the azoospermia protein; Hosa, <i>Homo sapiens</i>; Mamu, <i>Macaca mulatta</i>.</p
