The X chromosome is a hot spot for sexually antagonistic fitness variation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Mar 2002

Gibson Jonathan R, Chippindale Adam K, Rice William R

Abstract excerpt

Sexually antagonistic alleles are selected discordantly between the sexes. Experimental evidence indicates that sexually antagonistic fitness variation is abundant in the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. Theory predicts that the X chromosome will be enriched with this type of variation. To test this prediction in D. melanogaster, we sampled, and cytogenetically cloned, 20 X chromosomes and compared their...
