FAM9B serves as a novel meiosis-related protein localized in meiotic chromosome cores and is associated with human gametogenesis.

Meiosis is a complex process involving the expression and interaction of numerous genes in a series of highly orchestrated molecular events. Fam9b localized in Xp22.3 has been found to be expressed in testes. However, FAM9B expression, localization, and its role in meiosis have not been previously r...
