description <p>Abstract</p> <p>In this work we report the genetic polymorphism of a 7-bp insertion in the 3' untranslated region of the rabbit <it>SRY </it>gene. The polymorphic GAATTAA motif was found exclusively in one of the two divergent rabbit Y-chromosomal lineages, suggesting that its origin is more recent than the separation of the <it>O. c. algirus </it>and <it>O. c. cuniculus </it>Y-chromosomes. In addition, the remarkable observation of haplotypes exhibiting 0, 1 and 2 7-bp inserts in essentially all <it>algirus </it>populations suggests that the rabbit <it>SRY </it>gene is duplicated and evolving under concerted evolution.</p>
