Abstract excerpt
The pseudoautosomal boundary of mammalian sex chromosomes separates a low-recombination region (X- or Y-specific) from a high-recombination region (the pseudoautosomal region), providing a good opportunity to investigate the influence of recombination on molecular evolutionary processes. The mouse and human patterns of sequence variation, however, are discordant: a striking difference of GC-content and...
