Male-biased mutation rate and divergence in autosomal, z-linked and w-linked introns of chicken and Turkey.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2004

Abstract excerpt

To investigate mutation-rate variation between autosomes and sex chromosomes in the avian genome, we have analyzed divergence between chicken (Gallus gallus) and turkey (Meleagris galopavo) sequences from 33 autosomal, 28 Z-linked, and 14 W-linked introns with a total ungapped alignment length of approximately 43,000 bp. There are pronounced differences in the mean divergence among autosomes and sex chromosomes...
