Abstract excerpt
The evolution, inheritance and recombination rate of genes located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) is exceptional within the human genome. Pseudoautosomal genes are identical on X and Y chromosomes and are not inherited in a sex linked manner. Due to an obligatory recombination event in male meiosis, pseudoautosomal genes are exchanged frequently between X and Y chromosomes. During the isolation,...
