Low levels of nucleotide diversity in mammalian Y chromosomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2004

Hellborg Linda, Ellegren Hans

Abstract excerpt

Sex chromosomes provide a useful context for the study of the relative importance of evolutionary forces affecting genetic diversity. The human Y chromosome shows levels of nucleotide diversity 20% that of autosomes, which is significantly less than expected when differences in effective population size and sex-specific mutation rates are taken into account. To study the generality of low levels of Y chromosome...
