The DrosophilaY chromosome has several features (including its heterochromatic state) that have made mapping and sequencing difficult. The Y chromosome contains genes directly involved with male fertility. In the November 6 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Antonio Carvalho and colleagues describe a search for more novel Y-linked genes (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001, 98:13225-13230).
