A colleague has asked me to identify all of the sequences in Genbank that map to mouse chromosome Y. How would one do this? Bill Pearson

We have been working with the mouse mapping database community at Bar Harbour to incorporate their mapping data in a similar manner to the way we handle data from HGML (now gdb); as yet we have not finalised this work, but hope to soon. In the meantime, if the author provides us with chromosomal map data, either in a submission or the published article, we will incorporate them, usually in the COMMENT or the ORIGIN fields. This cannot be taken as comprehensive coverage, however, as we are reliant on the author to provide that information. Paul Gilna GenBank, Los Alamos

You could access GBASE at the Jackson Labs to find out all genes mapped to the Y chromosome and then cross check each one either using IRX software at Genbank or Strings search with GCG package. This manual search is feasible since there aren't many genes assigned to the mouse or human Y chromosome as yet. Not including the pseudoautosomal region I think the gene count is about 12, Bkm, Hy, Spy, Tdy (now cloned as Sry), Zfy1 and Zfy2, Mov-24, Xmmv-Y, Yaa, Yb10. I think only Bkm, Zfys, and Sry have been sequenced. (BTW Sry very recent). There are several more on human Y. This is my quick check and should be checked for completeness.
