Looking for signatures of sex-specific demography and local adaptation on the X chromosome.

Genome biology - 28 Jan 2010

Heyer Evelyne, Segurel Laure

Abstract excerpt

A population study comparing X-linked variation with that of the autosomes reveals that social organization has a clear impact on X chromosome genetic diversity and that the X chromosome shows a signature of local adaptation.
