TL;DR: It is found that reptile and platypus venom proteins have been co-opted independently from the same gene families; milk protein genes are conserved despite platypuses laying eggs; and immune gene family expansions are directly related to platypUS biology.

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the method used to derive the H2O2 “spatially aggregating force” is based on a two-step process, not a single step, like in the previous version of this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
In the platypus a meiotic chain of ten sex chromosomes shares genes with the bird Z and mammal X chromosomes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that platypus has five male-specific chromosomes and five chromosomes present in one copy in males and two copies in females that form a multivalent chain at male meiosis, suggesting an evolutionary link between mammal and bird sex chromosome systems, which were previously thought to have evolved independently.
Journal ArticleDOI
To store or mature spermatozoa? The primary role of the epididymis.
TL;DR: Claims that humans are not dependent on post-testicular sperm maturation and storage need to be qualified, as they are based on studies of abnormal tracts and tests of fertility which are not rigorous, but are of considerable clinical significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micropuncture and cannulation studies of fluid composition and transport in the ductuli efferentes testis of the rat: comparisons with the homologous metanephric proximal tubule
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that there is a net re absorption in the efferent ducts of nearly all the testicular output of water and inorganic electrolytes, and most of the protein, and that the ductus epididymidis is a negligible site of net fluid reabsorption.
