Signatures of sex-antagonistic selection on recombining sex chromosomes.
Genetics - 1 Jun 2014
Kirkpatrick Mark, Guerrero Rafael F
Abstract excerpt
Sex-antagonistic (SA) selection has major evolutionary consequences: it can drive genomic change, constrain adaptation, and maintain genetic variation for fitness. The recombining (or pseudoautosomal) regions of sex chromosomes are a promising setting in which to study SA selection because they tend to accumulate SA polymorphisms and because recombination allows us to deploy the tools of molecular evolution to...
