Sex-specific selection on the human X chromosome?

Genetical research - 1 Jun 2004

Balaresque Patricia, Toupance Bruno, Quintana-Murcilluis, Crouau-Roy Brigitte, Heyer Evelyne

Abstract excerpt

Genes involved in major biological functions, such as reproductive or cognitive functions, are choice targets for natural selection. However, the extent to which these genes are affected by selective pressures remains undefined. The apparent clustering of these genes on sex chromosomes makes this genomic region an attractive model system to study the effects of evolutionary forces. In the present study, we...
