The sex-determining gene SRY has undergone rapid evolution in rodents. Curiously, a new study by Miyawaki et al. reveals that a recently evolved SRY gene sequence antagonizes SRY protein stability, necessitating splicing of a novel intron. Other data suggest that this troublesome gene region has noncoding RNA functions, possibly related to conflict between sex chromosomes.

非编码RNA，Intragenomic冲突和啮齿动物SRY进化

性别决定基因SRY在啮齿动物中经历了快速进化。奇怪的是，宫胁等人的一项新研究。揭示了最近进化的SRY基因序列拮抗SRY蛋白质的稳定性，因此需要剪接新的内含子。其他数据表明，这个麻烦的基因区域具有非编码RNA功能，可能与性染色体之间的冲突有关。
