Adaptation shapes patterns of genome evolution on sexual and asexual chromosomes in Drosophila.

Nature genetics - 1 Jun 2003

Bachtrog Doris

Abstract excerpt

What advantage might sexual recombination confer? Population genetics theory predicts that asexual genomes are less efficient at eliminating deleterious mutations and incorporating beneficial alleles. Here, I compare patterns of genome evolution in a 40-kb gene-rich region on homologous neo-sex chromosomes of Drosophila miranda. Genes on the non-recombining neo-Y show various signs of degeneration, including...
