How would one do this? 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.
