The different levels of genetic diversity in sex chromosomes and autosomes.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jun 2009

Ellegren Hans

Abstract excerpt

Sex chromosomes and autosomes differ in their effective population size, mutation and demography, all of which affect the relative level of genetic diversity within the genome. Moreover, natural selection acts differentially on the two chromosomal categories, for example, because recessive mutations are directly exposed to selection on the single X chromosome of males. Recent genome analyses reveal a...
