Abstract excerpt

Different X-homologous regions of the male-specific portion of the human Y chromosome (MSY) are characterized by a different content of putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), as reported in public databases. The possible role of X-to-Y nonallelic gene conversion in contributing to these differences remains poorly understood. We explored this issue by analyzing sequence variation in three regions of the...
