Identification of novel sperm-specific/enriched transcripts. RT-PCR analysis identified 53 genes that are highly expressed in males (fog-2♂ and fem-3) compared with in females (fog-2♀ and fem-1). Most of these genes were identified previously as spermatogenesis-enriched [28]; however, 12 genes (indicated by the red asterisks) are newly identified as being sperm-specific/enriched. The Cdc-42 and Act-1 genes were used as controls.
