Sex-chromosome evolution: recent progress and the influence of male and female heterogamety.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Mar 2011

Ellegren Hans

Abstract excerpt

It is now clear that sex chromosomes differ from autosomes in many aspects of genome biology, such as organization, gene content and gene expression. Moreover, sex linkage has numerous evolutionary genetic implications. Here, I provide a coherent overview of sex-chromosome evolution and function based on recent data. Heteromorphic sex chromosomes are almost as widespread across the animal and plant kingdoms as...
