Sex-biased evolutionary forces shape genomic patterns of human diversity.

PLoS genetics - 26 Sept 2008

Hammer Michael F, Mendez Fernando L, Cox Murray P, Woerner August E, Wall Jeffrey D

Abstract excerpt

Comparisons of levels of variability on the autosomes and X chromosome can be used to test hypotheses about factors influencing patterns of genomic variation. While a tremendous amount of nucleotide sequence data from across the genome is now available for multiple human populations, there has been no systematic effort to examine relative levels of neutral polymorphism on the X chromosome versus autosomes. We...
