The faster-X effect: integrating theory and data.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Sept 2013

Meisel Richard P, Connallon Tim

Abstract excerpt

Population genetics theory predicts that X (or Z) chromosomes could play disproportionate roles in speciation and evolutionary divergence, and recent genome-wide analyses have identified situations in which X or Z-linked divergence exceeds that on the autosomes (the so-called 'faster-X effect'). Here, we summarize the current state of both the theory and data surrounding the study of faster-X evolution. Our...
