Interestingly, however, a team

of germ cells is not a result
of the progression
of gametogenesis or a sexual fate decision
of germ cells.

medaka (Oryzias latipes) and zebrafish (Danio rerio).
Expression is in the same cell types (spermatocytes and spermatids) in the testes
of the human, mouse and fish
medaka, suggesting conservation
of developmentally - regulated testicular expression
of Boule in vertebrate animals [35], [53].
