Molecular evolution of a Y chromosome to autosome gene duplication in Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 2011

Dyer Kelly A, White Brooke E, Bray Michael J, Piqué Daniel G, Betancourt Andrea J

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to the rest of the genome, the Y chromosome is restricted to males and lacks recombination. As a result, Y chromosomes are unable to respond efficiently to selection, and newly formed Y chromosomes degenerate until few genes remain. The rapid loss of genes from newly formed Y chromoso...
