RESUMO

Spin/Ssty genes might be important in the transition from sperm cells and oocytes to the early embryo. The discovery of a new protein motif of around 50 amino acids in length, the Spin/Ssty repeat is reported. Each repeat resides in its own exon, supporting the view that Spin/Ssty repeats are independent functional units.
