The sex chromosome that refused to die.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 May 2008

Malone John H, Oliver Brian

Abstract excerpt

Chromosomes that harbor dominant sex determination loci are predicted to erode over time--losing genes, accumulating transposable elements, degenerating into a functional wasteland and ultimately becoming extinct. The Drosophila melanogaster Y chromosome is fairly far along this path to oblivion....
