The organization of the pig Y Chromosome. All identified male-specific single-copy genes are on the short arm and split into two blocks by the ampliconic HSFY region. Genes (blue) and pseudogenes (gray) are shown within each block. The long and short arms toward the centromere appear to contain ampliconic or other repetitive sequences.
