Sex Chromosome Synapsis and Recombination in Male Guppies
21 Jan 2015

Guppy X and Y chromosomes represent an early stage in sex chromosome divergence. Synapsis and recombination between X and Y chromosomes attract special attention because recombination suppression promotes their differentiation, but previous studies have given contradictory results.
