Recombination is suppressed and variability reduced in a nascent Y chromosome.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 May 2007

Berset-Brändli L, Jaquiéry J, Perrin N

Abstract excerpt

Several hypotheses have been elaborated to account for the evolutionary decay commonly observed in full-fledged Y chromosomes. Enhanced drift, background selection and selective sweeps, which are expected to result from reduced recombination, may all share responsibilities in the initial decay of proto-Y chromosomes, but little empirical information has been gathered so far. Here we take advantage of three...
