Chromosomal Rearrangements as Barriers to Genetic Homogenization between Archaic and Modern Humans.
Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 2015

Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal rearrangements, which shuffle DNA throughout the genome, are an important source of divergence across taxa. Using a paired-end read approach with Illumina sequence data for archaic humans, I identify changes in genome structure that occurred recently in human evolution. Hundreds of rearrangements indicate genomic trafficking between the sex chromosomes and autosomes, raising the possibility of...
