Can a sex-biased human demography account for the reduced effective population size of chromosome X in non-Africans?

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2010

Keinan Alon, Reich David

Abstract excerpt

Sex-biased demographic events can result in asymmetries in female and male effective population size that can lead to different patterns of genetic variation on chromosome X than are expected based on the patterns on the autosomes. Previous studies point to a period around the time of the dispersal of anatomically modern humans out of Africa when chromosome X experienced a significant reduction in effective...
