The paper identifies piRNAs from Y-chromosome gene families that regulate autosomal gene expression in mouse testis through homology to gene UTRs and genomic regions.

The paper shows that RBCs from AB blood group individuals exhibit stochastic differential allelic expression of IA and IB alleles, leading to mosaicism in antigen expression.

This study identifies a Y-chromosome noncoding RNA, Pirmy, that regulates autosomal gene expression via piRNAs in mouse testis, contributing to male fertility and speciation.

The paper identifies a piRNA cluster on the mouse Y chromosome and shows that transcripts from multicopy gene families encode both piRNAs and proteins.
